The prime minister comes out and says on Friday morning, yeah, these are really bad.
I'll talk to you later.
Don't go anywhere, guys.
I'll be back on Monday.
There is no cabinet meeting at all.
Now, if you're a Labour councillor or politician, especially one who's just lost your seat, you might want to get some sense of urgency.
I know that in Wales, also, there are members of the Senate who've been saying, well, hang on, we just got wiped out.
Why is no one acting?
Why is no one acting like it's business as usual?
It's not business as usual.
And if we're not careful, in three years' time, we will wake up and the electoral map will have gone light blue.
And so I think there is a degree of pace which has now been added to it.
For my money, the best candidate would be Andy Burnham.
I think, well, I mean, the reason why I say Andy Burnham is one, he's outside the Westminster machine.
I think that actually is a good thing.
He polls positively with people who might be...
about to vote Reform as well as people who might vote Green.
And I know that the Greens are particularly worried about the prospect of a Burnham leadership because a lot of people who drifted over to them might go back to Labour.
But also, I think being out of Parliament, crucially...
has allowed him some time to think about what he would do differently.
