And it's easy if you're the American president and you don't care about telling the truth and all that. matched

But I think our politicians in Europe underestimate the extent to which they still have the power to do that. matched

I think they've all got too scared to challenge. matched

Yeah.

too scared to tell the public sometimes you've got to face up to this i don't think we're remotely honest at the moment with the public about the nature of our security situation both on defense in relation to the russian threat i don't think we're i think we're going to face some really really difficult choices pretty soon matched

and the economics of our country. matched

And the other one, and the other one that we haven't really talked about is, I don't think we're being, I think we're walking away from the climate debate, which I think is as dangerous as anything we face. matched

So I think there is, and I think the public, if you're, if you talk about being on, and of course, honestly, there is, you know, in politics and that people say they're all liars, they're not all liars. matched

And he's saying where he wants to go. matched

And he's saying where he wants to lead. matched

And I think we've got to get back to that kind of approach in politics. matched

He's still very good at the tweet, and he's very good at the 30-second TikTok video. matched

But this bigger stuff is where I think our politics have gone wrong, the lack of it. matched
