No, I want to go straight into why do you want to get rid of Ed Miliband?

Well, are you buying the Richard Tye's arguments that Ed Miliband is in trying to sort of, you know, play a leadership role on climate change?

He's kind of destroying the world.

Is that where we are?

But how does that relate to what Ed Miliband's trying to do on the green agenda?

But you can't put that all at Ed Miliband's door.

Listen, Rory, nor can we have a question about Richard Tice become a big discussion of Rory Stewart saying Ed Miliband should go.

Can I just say something interesting on AI, Rory?

I was at a lovely place called Brescia.

yesterday in italy you just jumped from italy to hong kong in a day i know my green credentials are not very good this week um but anyway this conference in brescia is called the future future proof society and it was sort of looking all sorts of you know different this and that

But you'd have loved this discussion I had with a couple of people.

Actually, one of them was totally against AI and just wants to stop the whole damn thing.

But one of the other people who's involved in this discussion, having said that the UK is actually extraordinarily well placed.

America and China are absolutely running away with everything.

That is true.

But if you were looking for a kind of, you know, best placed to get into the runner up slot, it is the UK.

And this was an American guy who basically said a lot of it was about our education, but also about some of the stuff that the government was doing.

He mentioned that two billion pound thing that we're doing on quantum last week.

But essentially the infrastructure that's been built, and I guess Rishi Sunak was part of this when he was prime minister as well.

He asked us a question, basically wanted us to put the boot into Richard Tice.
