So acting co-chiefs, Jill Cuthbertson and Vidya Elakeson, two women actually, which all feels a bit like the glass cliffs.

Do you know that idea that women are only appointed to senior roles when it's basically a disaster and certain deaths?

The story of Doyle's association with Sean Morton, who had been charged with possession of indecent images of children, was broken by The Times in late December.

But Starmer only removed the whip on Tuesday after an investigation was launched by the Labour Party.

Yeah.

I actually really do like that idea, but I'm afraid it might actually rehabilitate his image.

Starboard I'm talking about, not Gamble.

So I don't know how comfortable I feel about that.

I do just want to read out some of this polling information.

So Keir Starmer, I think we all know that he's very unpopular.

But did you know that it's the effect of three quarters of voters view him unfavourably?

One Labour frontbencher told Politico he had bought time, but it is still terminal.

Yeah, it is astonishing.

That's such a good word that he would release these messages thinking that it would show the public what a great guy he is and to get ahead of any essential people finding out that he was in a text exchange.

I just find it absolutely shocking and such a misfire.

There is a part of me that cannot believe that as we are now going to discuss the potential leadership candidates, that there's only one woman whose name that we are actually properly mentioning.

Because underlying all of this, despite the way that this Epstein Files is being covered, you know, in terms of the political machinations, I mean, it's about crimes against women and girls.

And look, I have my reservations about, you know...

identity politics and the sort of broad brushstrokes that it applies.

But it's not that much of a logical leap to think maybe the Labour Party should have a woman leader.
