Oh, I don't know. I mean, look, it's really bad timing. I think I can say that, you know, and I don't think this was... Labour, I think, were very annoyed that this was briefed out because, you know, Keir Starmer just stood up and said everything's going to be terrible for a long time. And of course, with all the fallout from the riots, there's a big sort of...

caucus of right-wingers already calling him authoritarian. So when people get word that you're going to introduce a very authoritarian and very gloomy policy, it's just not helpful. Everything's rubbish and you cannot have a cheeky ciggy either. No more cigarettes. Yeah, exactly. Do I think it's a bad policy? I'm in two minds.

You know, there is a sort of libertarian part of me that thinks, you know, who cares? But I think when it comes to smoking, and particularly my thing is the NHS, right? The NHS is in such dire straits. And there's only so much that, you know, plugging it with money and trying to like reform bits of it can do. What we really need is a preventative approach to healthcare.

And smoking, you know, it costs the NHS money. so much money. It takes a lot of people's lives. I can completely understand the public health drive to save the NHS by pushing people away from smoking. And with cigarettes, you know, they're highly addictive. A lot of people start smoking socially. I started smoking socially when I was at university.

So if you make it a bit more socially unacceptable, you can see that people would stop

Yeah, I mean, one thing that is very, very interesting is when you look at the sheer amount of money to be made from cannabis and medicinal cannabis, and actually how, you know, I think the market is a billion or two billion or something like that. You can imagine a situation where actually there might be quite a lot of economic sense to legalise cannabis.

And I just think it would be a brilliant right wing head spinner.

Yeah, it is. So obviously led by Jeremy Corbyn. And it's composed of five independent MPs, which happens to be about the same size as Reform. But it's not, as we're saying, it's not a political party. So... Basically, it needs formal agreement. It's a slight procedural thing. It needs formal agreement from the common speaker to be formalised.

He has received a letter, but has not yet confirmed whether or not they're going to allow that. And the alliance won't receive any short money, which is the funding that opposition parties receive for parliamentary work. But it will... have a sort of official presence in the House. And Jeremy Corbyn has extended an invitation from the Alliance to other MPs.
