Keir Starmer

And he did all this, you know, if the ball comes, blah, blah, blah, the back of the scrum, blah, blah, blah.

But essentially, we were never in any doubt.

David Cameron was never in any doubt that Boris was constantly trying to, Boris Johnson was constantly trying to target his job.

I think this time round, what is complicated is that in both Burnham and West Streeting, you have...

It's weirdly more of a timidity, right?

They don't quite have that brashness to just smack through anything in their way and say, I'm seizing the crown, it's mine.

And, you know, it'd be really interesting to see at 2.35 whether Wes Streeting goes for it today, because if he doesn't.

It's not going to happen tomorrow.

Tomorrow's the King's speech.

And if Burnham really has got something sorted for the next couple of weeks, then that's kind of it.

So I'm feeling like, you know, this is sort of make or break for West Streeting, really, for this first round, isn't it?

One, I mean, you think just to go back to the Jess Phillips thing, if we think that Jess Phillips is an ally or a supporter of West Streeting, then presumably her resignation was meant to sort of, you know, push him out the door, right?

I mean, that's the irony.

Isn't that the absolute irony?

If he had that same ironclad belief in the actual policies that he was espousing, in big, bold measures, in the things that he was selling, in his ability to communicate, all that stuff, we probably wouldn't be where we are.

Yeah.

And I guess I would just switch that on its head and say.

You call it arrogance.

But if you're Keir Starmer and you realise that this would be the seventh defenestration since Brexit, it is absurd.

It makes us into a national joke.
