Hi, I'm Anouche. And I'm Althane. And on today's New Statement podcast,

we discuss the Nondon scandal and you ask us, how should Labour respond to it?

We're recording remotely today and there's a bit of drilling in the background,

so do bear with us. So we're recording on Monday morning and this is the morning after

Rishi Sunak referred himself to Lord Geithy, independent of biserone minister's interests,

to try and clear his name over this scandal that doesn't seem to be going away over his

wife's Nondon status and also the suggestion that he held a green card until fairly recently.

But what's happened here, Ava, is actually what's been exposed is Rishi Sunak's perhaps

naivety as a politician. What do you think? Yeah, I think so because I think the way this story has

been playing out, obviously it's recess at the moment, which means that when we're talking about

whether this is played out in Westminster, we're really talking about MPs on what's

that from no different constituencies or on holiday, you know, it's not really how people are

going to be sounding around talking about this because everyone has scattered for Easter holidays.

But I'm sure that I'm actually does slightly the way the political story has unfolded slightly

or how Tory MPs have been reacting to it, but it's not just, I think, the fact of the story itself,

it's really how Rishi Sunak has dealt with it and has been seen right from the start of this

to be on the back of it. I was with a lot of conservatives as the story broke just by coincidence.
