We don't think that this is the right time for some, you know, infighting internal contest.

We need stability.

We want him to be able to crack on with the job.

So they're the two kind of columns stacking up.

And as Chris says, you know, very broadly speaking, they're kind of pretty much equal.

And then there's this chunk in the middle that we haven't heard anything from yet.

yet it is worth saying just in terms of the numbers we're keeping an eye on them because it obviously gives you a sense of where the party is at and it is the parliamentary labour party that are going to have a key role in deciding the next steps whatever they may be in this process but talking about numbers none of that applies and in terms of somebody challenged the prime minister unless they all put their names to one candidate and we are not at that stage just now

I mean, Jess Phillips is quite a high profile figure in the Labour Party.

This is not to say that not any ministerial resignation matters.

Of course, they all do.

But Jess Phillips is a pretty well-known character.

And a lot has been made about something that she said in there, which is that she said that she'd been advocating for a bit of technology that would stop children taking naked photos of themselves.

And she was talking about the delay in getting that done.

I'm not a technology expert.

I don't know any of the details about that or the reasons around that.

But there was a line in her letter that really stood out to me.

And it was quite near the end.

And it's when she says, decency is vital.

Calm curiosity is also needed.

But so too are fight and drive required.
