I was just looking at the polls the whole time and thinking we're getting to the point where there is no coming back for the Labour Party under this guy in this situation.
I think the May elections were probably the final moment.
I think the smouldering Mandelson scandal made a lot of people think he just doesn't have the judgment in terms of the people around him.
He hasn't got the, frankly, the curiosity about other people that a leader needs.
Well, this is, as it were, the baton being handed over for the second time, because although Starmer despised, and I think the word isn't too strong, Boris Johnson, Johnson was admired by Starmer for what he did standing up for Ukraine during a difficult time.
He then passes the baton on to Starmer.
Now, in a way, that's just this is just what Britain does, except Britain.
that Starmer had to deal with Trump at his most Trumpian and difficult and rambunctious.
And it wasn't easy for Starmer.
And I think he feels a genuine, and I would argue, natural and correct sense of pride for what he's done.
And I think going there for the final time, both very emotional for Starmer, but also he's sending a signal to Andy Burnham.
He's saying, Andy, whatever your faults and strengths, you don't know much about foreign affairs.
This is one part of foreign affairs you simply can't ignore.
It was really difficult for him because that never hear Keir jibe did him a lot of damage.
There were a lot of people looking at aspects of domestic policy who felt that they couldn't get FaceTime with the prime minister, couldn't get him to understand what was going wrong and were frustrated by the sheer number of foreign trips he made, including to COP and to Paris and NATO and the United Nations and Ukraine and, and, and.
But, you know, he's right.
We are in a world where foreign policy affects daily life more than ever before.
And a man we may come on to discuss later on, Ed Miliband, may have had a word as well.
No, I mean, I certainly texted him and said that.
I've been speaking to him on and off for a couple of years now, you know, just about what he was thinking about politics.
