Very good.
And I'm absolutely intrigued by the relationship between J.D.
Vance and David Lammy.
It's so unlikely, and yet that phone call last night suggests it is real and they are close.
And also they both had quite a tough upbringing, an upbringing that David Lammy has talked about as being dysfunctional.
They both had absent fathers.
J.D.
Vance wrote this book, Kill Billy Elegy, about his childhood, in particular his mum's drug addiction.
And they are both Christians.
They've both seemingly bonded over that and their faith, having working class backgrounds and yet becoming prominent, powerful politicians.
And also because as Tottenham MP, he was the MP when the riots took place about, what, 15 years ago after the shooting of Mark Duggan.
A black man who was shot by the Met police who were chasing him and...
And he had a gun, but it was not close to his body when this sort of hard stop by police cars ended.
And I suppose Henry also, David Lammy, is somebody who has a history of tackling that difficult debate of the police and racism and confidence in different communities.
And what was initially a family's tragedy and horrific murder has now become, Laura, an international political debate.
And it's interesting, there are so many different aspects of this murder in terms of the political debate it has prompted.
You've got the tone of the debate, and that's something you touched on a lot with
Zia Youssef from Reform, especially after what Henry Novak's dad has said.
You've got what JD Vance has touched on, which is linking this to migration.
And it's not that dissimilar from what Nigel Farage said in his emergency address.
