Right.

And to what extent do you think it was the EU what won it for Peter Magyar?

Because, you know, in his victory speech in Budapest on Sunday night, he promised that he was going to forge closer links with the EU.

Do you think that that is what the Hungarian people were voting for?

Or do you think it was more like they were voting against a closer relationship with Russia?

And so obviously the EU is celebrating the end of this 16-year reign of Viktor Orban.

But do you think in terms of what Peter Madjar's politics are, could there be some elements of his personality, his policies that maybe won't align quite so closely with what the majority in the EU want?

Orban's defeat comes at a very precarious time for the whole world and also, of course, for the EU.

And all EU countries are feeling the effects of the war in Iran and the ongoing fallout from the argument over the Strait of Hormuz.

And it all comes after a fairly relentless barrage of criticism from Donald Trump since he returned to the White House.

And then in the background, you've got the rise of China, a belligerent Kremlin.

I wonder how much all of these global events are feeding into a sort of greater sense of unity within the EU, this feeling that whatever differences they have, they are stronger together when coming up against these massive challenges.

And that was at the point when Trump was talking about taking Greenland, wasn't he?

Which galvanised European nations really to come to Denmark's aid and tell Trump that that wasn't on.

No, certainly.

And you mentioned Starmer there saying that he's found his metal in the past couple of weeks.

And the other thing that Starmer seems to be doing with increasing confidence is

is talking about wanting to get closer again to the EU, to, if not rejoin the gang, to at least become better friends with our European neighbours.

And this week, The Guardian broke the story that Labour are planning to bring in new legislation that will forge these closer ties between the UK and the EU.

Can you just explain what this bill is setting out to do?
