In an unreasonable way. matched

No, not even in an unreasonable way, but in a way that I think sometimes underestimates... The difficulty or the challenge. matched

And the political consequences. matched

Because some of them don't think it's moderate and reasonable. matched

They will say it's moderate and reasonable to do everything you can to stop illegal immigration. matched

But they don't want to do it. matched

But they don't think it's moderate or reasonable for Britain to put up the barriers on people that we do want here, that we deter from coming here. matched

by putting them in the same boat. matched

But I think that most of the Labour MPs who were elected at the last election, I don't put them in that camp at all. matched

Because the other thing that's going on with Shabana Mahmood is it's happening in the context of this churn and change within the Labour Party. matched

So you've got Keir Starmer going, Andy Burnham's coming in, and people are manoeuvring and people are trying to play their role in shaping the future of the Labour Party. matched

I'm not fundamentally disagreeing with you. matched

I'd be far more upset, for example, about the way that anti-Semitism developed on the parts of the far left. matched

I think some of the way that, I mean, I abhor so much of what, for example, the Israeli government has done and is doing. matched

But at the same time, I really worry about the extent in some parts of the left that has turned into a little bit of a resurgence of the anti-Semitism that we saw during the Corbyn. matched

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. matched

And let me say as well, just on the PLP, I don't talk to as many MPs as I used to. matched

Right now, if I was an MP, would I be broadly backing Shabana Mahmood and what she's trying to do? matched
