00:00Since you're entering into Scottish politics, have you read Nicola Surgeon's book?
00:03No, I haven't. I was surprised that she... It wasn't top of my list, actually, for summer reading.
00:09No, I haven't.
00:09She's not very complimentary about you. She describes you as someone with a very fragile ego who's not comfortable particularly around women.
00:16Do you and your party have a woman problem?
00:18Are you seeking any female candidates in Scotland?
00:21And does your promise on securing women's safety ring hollow when this week you've committed to sending women and girls back to countries where they can be raped, tortured and killed?
00:33That is actually not true. I was very, very clear yesterday in what I said that the deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage.
00:43There were so many illegal males in Britain, and the news reports that said that after my conference yesterday were wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
00:51So women and children will be exempt?
00:53I didn't say exempt forever, but at this stage, that is not part of our plan for the next five years. Absolutely.
