UK bond G is the 10 year has gone up to 5.13% today.

That's the high so far.

The last time we saw levels like that was back during the financial crisis in 2008.

So it's a mess.

And the one thing that's very obvious is that although I think there's about 81 MPs, the last time I looked, want Stormer to go, but they have not united behind one candidate.

So there can't be a leadership gap.

challenge until that happens, I believe.

Andy Burnham arrived in London today.

Of course, he is not an MP, so he can't become prime minister.

So how do you interpret it all?

Total mess.

Yeah, Chris, here in Ireland, I look across the political spectrum and it doesn't fill me with enthusiasm in terms of the quality of our politicians.

But I'm close enough to it here, so I'd have a reasonable understanding here.

Whereas in the UK, there's nobody in the Labour Party that I know anything about, really, that's of any consequence.

I mean, you think back to when Tony Blair was in power, you had people, love them or hate them, but you had Gordon Brown.

You know, you had Robin Cook, you had people like that.

There were people of substance from a political perspective.

There doesn't seem to be anybody at all in the Labour Party.

So maybe Stormer will be forced to step down over the coming days.

He will be replaced by a non-entity.
