An interesting point.
And of course, Samart Rowley, as Commissioner of the Met does have jurisdiction over London, but he also has that national role because it's our capital city, because he has national counter-terrorism uh responsibilities, I think, as well.
So when he criticises the government, I know they take it very seriously in Whitehall and are often pretty concerned by it.
And I think it it also just struck me.
that some of the cr on specifically the Sim this awful Simon Levy case

And I think you talk about
Andy Burnham's overflowing intray as Prime Minister.
And I think certainly speaking to Labour MPs, one of the things that they feel he needs to find a way to do is just for people to feel like
the British state sort of functions again and and every case like this probably does chip away at that.
Absolutely.
