There was a charge made against you previously by Labour TD Duncan Smith questioning how you could be the voice for working-class people when you’re a millionaire and have many businesses. Explain how you actually see yourself as the voice of the working class when their lives are not your reality.

That’s a nonsensical statement for him to be making and for you to be repeating, right, because it’s not factually true.
