Alistair Campbell

I don't think he knows that.

And the question then, given that one of his big messages was country before party.

Where does that lead to?

I think he's in a really difficult place.

I don't know about a percentage, but I'm shocked by two things.

One, in the public, because I don't think Keir Starmer's a hateful person at all, but a number of people say, I hate that guy, I hate that guy.

I really don't get that.

But I think what you're hearing amongst a lot of the MPs is that, you know, this just isn't working.

Partly that.

They don't sort of feel that they're able to connect with the public on what they call the good things that they are doing, which I can list, and I think they are doing a lot of good stuff.

I think here has been impressive, particularly on the foreign affairs field.

The big thing that ties that together is the fact that the slogan was change.

And there are changes that you can point to, but do people feel that their lives are being transformed by a change of government?

Certainly not yet.

And then added to it, this is the thing that kind of pains me the most,

is that the thing that made the last lot so dysfunctional was this sense... You've seen this in the way it's operating now.

You just saw some sort of pretty second-rate people projecting themselves as though they were the centre of the universe.

And I think what you... The reason why I think Keir Starmer is likely to be feeling incredibly frustrated right now is there he is trying to sort of, you know, get a new government in place, get the government going.

And we're already talking about who's next.

Now, he either actually lays down, he says, you can do what you want, I'm not going.
