It's not helpful.

We need calm words and calm leaders, and that is not helpful.

Keir Starmer needed a quick win.

That's my reading of it.

Yeah, Healy resigned and I think Starmer needed to do something to show people that the military are still capable here.

And look, they took that tanker within minutes.

Helicopters, they had aircraft, Royal Navy all within the vicinity, Royal Marines roping down

commandos going in and one of Putin's shadow tankers taken away.

It's currently moored on the south coast of England, 700,000 plus barrels of oil in it.

Starmer needed a quick win.

That's my reading of that.

He's not someone who moves quickly and yet they had the press release out by the time they'd secured the last barrel of oil.

No, I think people are behind Healy on this.

We're looking eastwards.

You're looking at Russia flexing its muscles and whatever is to come in the next decade, maybe in the next five years, if they go after a NATO nation.

I think the British military, a lot of people feel not just this government, but previous conservative governments haven't put enough cash in.

And I think people would support Healy.

Yes, he was a grandee of the Labour Party.

And for anyone who doesn't remember, I mean, he had a very distinctive speaking style, shall we say.

He occasionally had a little bit of spit coming out of his mouth.
