We can do what we want with it.

So thank you to everybody.

Thank you to Jim for indulging me on our joint site.

And yeah,

I appreciate all of the very, very warm remarks and thoughts that people have sent.

And if I've missed you out in any of my replies, as I say, I'm sorry, but it was great.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry about that, Jim.

That's a horrible confusion to make.

Understandable, given that we both, we send out our pieces as joint pieces effectively, but they're not, of course.

They're written by one or the other of us.

And perhaps on this particular occasion, I should have made it clear that it was me, not Jim speaking.

So apologies, Jim.

It must have been horrible to get condolences.

But I guess you figured out quite quickly what was going on.

It is a total mess, Jim.

And one of the messes is the way in which the Labour Party, the Labour Party's own constitution rules about changing the lead of work.

It's not fit for purpose.

And it's a weird system.

And what they amount to is either the leader, the prime minister in this case, goes voluntarily, announces a timetable for his departure, his or her departure, stands down after an election contest.
