The conversation now turns to Conservative Party's policy announcements on welfare and pensions.
Trevor asks him about the triple lock on pensions, saying the Conservatives plan to enhance it by making sure no pensioner pays tax on that.
He asks: "Do you think that's morally right in a country where a child is twice as likely to be in poverty as a pensioner?"
Mr Stride replies that the government has reduced child poverty by 100,000.
He goes on to say: "I think it's absolutely right in a civilised society to protect and support those of an older age.
"They are less likely to be able to change their economic circumstances, for example, by going out to work, etc. And it's therefore right that we stand up for our pensioners."
Trevor responds that a child can't go out to earn more money either.
The Conservatives have promised to cut taxes for pensioners by creating a new "age-related" tax-free allowance - dubbed "triple lock plus".
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the move "demonstrates we are on the side of pensioners", and would bring people "peace of mind and security in retirement".
But Labour's shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth called it "another desperate move from a chaotic Tory party torching any remaining facade of its claims to economic credibility".
