The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

Certainly not yet.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

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

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

And then he's going to force the hand of people like Wes Treating if they are sort of pushing to get him out because Andy Burnham is not going to be there to do it for him now.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

But I think right now, I'm pretty down about the way the government has developed and I'm pretty down about the way the public is seeing it.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

And that's got to be fixed because the Tories are not going to win this election.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

The Tories are not going to win the next election.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

And therefore, the choice that the country is facing is do you want a Labour or a Labour-led government or do you want Nigel Farage in Downing Street?

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

Now, some people are still saying yes to the latter.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

But I think there is a real desire for that not to happen.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

And the only way it's going to be stopped is for Labour to get this out together.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

Okay, well, end of this episode.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

We're going to talk about Minnesota.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

We're going to talk about Suella Braverman and her defection to reform.

The Rest Is Politics
494. Carney’s Trump Fightback and the Starmer-Burnham Fallout

Exactly.
