Yeah, I think the flip side, in a way, of what Alison's saying, and this is the argument that people use, is that if you have poor palliative care, you might end up in a situation where people are pushed into choosing a sister dying when they don't need to.
And this is an argument which has been used very much last year through all the debates.
I thought...
The answering on his feet thing, I think, is a really important point because it did feel like he was literally not making up that answer, but you could hear the cogs working as he was saying it.
And he's a very inexperienced prime minister, let's be honest here.
I wonder if that comment, how that comment is going to play out when we get into September and potentially a new backbench bill that goes through the whole process all over again.
He did say there should be a debate.
So he certainly wasn't ruling out that coming forward, but...
But it's a debate the same as legislation.
And he did not seem, overall, he did not seem particularly keen, did he?
I think is a fair way of saying it on that idea.
The other thing I thought was really interesting is when he brought up the US healthcare system.
And he said that social care in the UK, or in England at the moment, is as unfair as the US health system.
And I kind of looked up when he was saying that.
I think that is quite a bold statement to make when you think about the media narrative in this country and people think about the US system as failing.
An interesting comparison, I think.
