Wow, wow, wow. The person before him to live in that place, presumably the one who left it as a crack den, was Theresa May. I mean... I just don't buy it.
You didn't feel comforted by him saying, I paid for it, but I don't know how much I paid.
I think that that man is... That is fiscal responsibility, no, Nish? That's what we want in this country. Oh, my God.
I saw a picture of Theresa May in her flat. It looked absolutely lovely when she was in 10 Downing Street. So this was before Johnson took over. And I had this moment of like, oh, my God, she had some of the same coffee tables as me.
I know. How chilling is that? I got mine secondhand, to be fair. It's from Habitat.

As Labour conference comes to a close, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have declared war on tax dodgers and COVID corruption.
And I'm Coco Kahn. And this is Podsafe for UK.
Well, let's get into it. Here's a clip of the Prime Minister addressing that very Labour Party conference.
So do you think that, because obviously Starmer's... His opinion rating is quite low. I think there is still a problem where people don't understand what he stands for. I was hearing a conversation about him the other day and people talking about how even with Blair, his line was, he's a modern man for a modern Britain. And almost his youth in adopting technology, that was part of the brand.
And people still don't fully know what the brand Starmer is. Do you think this corrected it a bit?
So let's have a think about some of those issues then. Starmer had lots to say on migration. He said that net immigration is too high and claimed that taking back control, the old Brexiteer slogan, is actually a Labour argument. So what is he trying to achieve here, Zoe?
I had this little moment the other day where I was thinking, wow, over the summer, loads of us were scared to leave our houses. And now we're just expected to just forget about it. And it's weird. I think gaslighting is a really hoist word you use there. Yeah, I hear it.
From one thing that disgusts you to another. This was my personal... I'm going to be quiet for a little bit. So one of the things that Starmer was keen to emphasise was a... Back down on benefits for all. That was his language, prompting critics within the party to say it was almost like George Osborne speaking again. I have to say this was my area of feeling like absolute disgust.
I couldn't believe it. I just can't believe that we're having any conversation around benefits that isn't about the fact that the sums are so paltry that the people who claim them, who many of them are in work and also unwell, are forced to choose between heating and eating, which I think should be what we talk about when we talk about benefits.
tiny problem compared to loads of other issues with the benefit sector. So anyway, so what's Starmer's play here, Zoe?
I really feel like we need to have a better conversation about benefits in this country. It's getting a little bit, on a personal level, I'm getting angry and I don't like me when I'm angry. So benefits is, of course, an enormously important topic and it does require more time than we have today.
