I mean, they've sort of said everything they need to say. The next we'll hear from them is at the party conference. That's where the leaders will sequentially give speeches to Conservative Party members. I'm sure we'll cover that. But until then, you can have a little rest, have a little sit down.

Now, last week, we updated you all on the results of the Grenfell inquiry. Please do go back and check it out if you haven't already. But to keep it brief, it found that decades of failure and systematic dishonesty were the root causes of the disaster. Never one to avoid a chance at airbrushing his legacy, the former PM, Lord David Cameron, took to X writing...

The report is clear that fire safety and building safety regulations were explicitly excluded from the coalition government's greatly needed red tape reviews, given the importance we place on safety and build quality. Indeed, the coalition and post-2015 government took steps to increase fire safety regulation.

Sadly, Lord Cameron is not the only former PM to be saying some really just awful egregious things on this. Tony Blair, who we've previously referred to on this show as being in his second villain era, was also out and about.

And finally, this weekend, I had a joyous Saturday reading an excerpt from Diane Abbott's memoir, A Woman Like Me, published in The Guardian, which explores her life story, including her relationship with the independent MP and former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn. I mean, the book sounds amazing. I've just bought a copy. It has not yet arrived.

I'm really excited to read about this iconic politician, but I am going to spoil a little bit. I just want to read you some of the quotes about her relationship with Jeremy Corbyn. As I say, please do read it in full. I was gripped from the first word. And it says, around that time, I began to realise that realistically, ours was not a match made in heaven. We were two different, Abbott writes.

Once, after I lamented our lack of social activity as a couple, he pondered it for a few days and told me we were going out. Feeling excited, I dressed up nicely and we bundled into the car. I had no idea where we were going. Perhaps a nice wine bar? It turned out Jeremy's idea of a social outing was to drive me to Highgate Cemetery and proudly show me the tomb of Karl Marx.

Look, I'm not... It's not about the choice of date for me. Literally this year on Valentine's, I went to an exhibition exploring the exploitation of women's labour in the home and the main exhibit was just a woman screaming on a loop. I consider that romantic. That's my love language. Let's talk about equal distribution of household labour. So it's not a judgment on the day.

It's more the surprise element. At what point was she like, oh, this is a cemetery? You know, when I was thinking social, I was thinking, want to be around alive people? Didn't know I needed to say alive. Didn't know that was, you know, that's the bit I absolutely love.
