I suppose in a way you're sort of hoping, or they're sort of hoping, that as long as people see their world improve, it all will be forgiven. Although when you were talking about, oh, that's what Blair did in 1997, I just kept thinking, yes, babe, but they didn't have Twitter then. Like there wasn't this rolling feed of everyone up to date on what you said then and we remember, you know.

Yeah, no, absolutely. Fantastic to bring that insight. Look, I'm just going to ask you directly, Josh, and I hope you'll take this question in the spirit of millennial to millennial. So why the Lib Dems then? Why the Lib Dems?

So do you think that this will shape the Lib Dems essentially being in opposition to Labour? Obviously, the official opposition are in total disarray and are all bananas, let's be honest. The Lib Dems have got a sizeable number of MPs. I imagine you're taking it upon yourselves to be the opposition in some way.

These are the sort of battle lines we might see, do you think, around things like civil liberties, around the state overstepping personal liberty. Is this an indicator of what we can expect?

Brian, can you ask Ed to come on our show, please? That would be great. Let's just talk about getting things done then. Let's talk about your own portfolio, which is justice. You know, look, the prisons are in crisis. We've talked about it on our show. And last month at the Lib Dem conference, you spoke about the presumptions against short sentencing.

There's been whispers that the government ministers are considering scrapping short sentences. You know, what are the other reforms that need to be looked at? What's the most urgent thing, do you think?

It is a criminal offence to make inaccurate claims and if the candidate is found to have breached election laws, they can be evicted from the House of Commons and a by-election called. So the iPaper also quotes another independent candidate in Leicester South that claims that there was an appearance that Suleiman and Adam were working in tandem.
