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.

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.
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.
