And also I thought it was fascinating how you pushed Zia Youssef for clarity on what contact Reform UK have had with the family of Henry Novak.
Because so much of the debate around the appropriateness of what JD Vance has said or otherwise and Nigel Farage and others, other politicians have said, is this what the family would have wanted?
He didn't completely rule that out.
Yeah, he was intriguing on that.
And I'm also interested, if you have an opinion on this, Henry, to what extent is the fact that Keir Starmer may have a sort of ticking clock above his premiership impacting on all of this?
Because if it is a huge bit of public spending, and if cuts to other departmental budgets...
need to happen to pay for it.
And other departments, public service departments, that Labour MPs worry about, or maybe it's welfare spending, and they worry about that too, clearly we've seen.
To what extent is something that Keir Starmer announces, maybe in the final weeks of his premiership, something that actually really matters?
Yeah.
On the point of Mayfield, it's worth pointing out a full list of all the candidates is on our website.
Reforms candidate is Robert Kenyon.
And ahead of that result, Henry, MPs, certainly that I've bumped to over the past couple of days, I'm sure you have this week, too.
are watching all the interviews and media interventions of all the potential candidates, and their minds are sort of slightly shifting.
And also a lot of them, I think, because self-interest is such a big part of politics and political careers, are working out whether there's a job for them in a new administration, whoever leaves it, or if Keir Starmer survives.
Such a line.
There are examples in British politics as well.
I mean, it's more Tory PMs than Labour ones, of course, of Tory PMs facing up against their critics.
Yeah, I mean, if you think of Thatcher or Major or in different ways, Johnson and May actually have faced up against rivals.
So Keir Starmer seems to be trying to follow that play.
