Well, it's like that John Major back to basics thing. John Major's back to basics and then suddenly every MP who's caught in a threesome or whatever it is is a major problem for you because that's not considered basic. So, I mean, with the Starmer thing, I think you're basically right. I mean, you do have to own it.

There comes a point, you know, Boris Johnson, to give him full credit, which is not a sentence that I like saying or something I even like thinking. He never claimed to be some kind of moral saint, right? So, I mean, when it was like, oh, the wallpaper and the blah, blah, blah. Yeah. He's like, why are you worrying about the wallpaper? I literally don't even know how many children I have.

You know, you can get away with that stuff. Whereas if you say, well, this is all about service, then it's going to be much tougher. And it should be tougher for him to deal with. So I do think these are teething errors. I suspect that we won't remember them in two years' time, let alone in five. But you're definitely not wrong to say, like, you need to be doing much better than this.

You should be doing much better than this. This is not acceptable and it needs to improve very quickly.

I'm still a bit discombobulated by the Sue Gray thing. I am pleased that there are a lot of people with civil service experience in senior positions of the Labour Party anyway, including Keir Starmer. I mean, when you're in charge of the DPP, that's basically what you are. You're essentially a permanent secretary. I am concerned about, can they make shit work?

And I think that the ultimate... We will talk a lot, and there'll be lots of noise and rah for the next five years. When it goes back to the country, the question they're going to ask is... How is it when I call an ambulance? You know, have I just heard that my next door neighbor's dad, you know, died from a heart attack because an ambulance never came? You know, what's going on with the river?

So these are the judgments that people will make. And if you can demonstrate improvement, you can win, certainly against this conservative party, certainly on the basis of the number of seats that they have. So it's all about doing that. I think they're serious minded people. I think they can do it.

I'm just a bit concerned that the person who was at the top of that project has now gone and there's very little chatter about how that project will now continue. So cautious optimism, which in a way is kind of the centrist way. I know.

Yeah, he's a much, much bigger threat than either of the other two. But I also think Starmer will do better out of having Cleverley in that position than either of the other two. Like, especially Jenner. You know, but Badenock as well.

I mean, she's all over, like, really, you just, journalists are going to sit, if she's leader, they're just going to sit here, they know, I can just upset you very easily indeed. I can get you really mad. So that's what I'm going to do. That's kind of my job. And she will keep on doing that. She is, I don't know what they're seeing in her, But I don't get it because she's not much cop.
