Good morning, David.
I made it 16 minutes by my clock when Street Team was in number 10.
No, exactly.
And it was noticeable he didn't carry a file, papers in or out.
So it wasn't emitting about policy, anything that's going to be announced in his control of the NHS in the state, in the parliament.
No, it would have been addressing down.
We don't have the details yet, but it was an attempt by the prime minister to assert his authority over one of his challenges.
I think it was really the prime minister saying, put up or shut up.
The question now is what does West Streetine do?
Does he attempt to trigger a formal leadership battle or does he quit as health secretary?
Does he lick his wounds?
It's very destabilising.
Yeah, I think you're probably right.
I think looking across the Irish Sea, I think you've called it correctly at the moment because while I think the last count was 91 MPs signing a petition effectively saying they want Starmer gone, they disagree who they want.
and how that would be achieved.
And Streatina's the frontrunner in Parliament at the moment, but many of those MPs want Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester Mayor, who can't stand because he doesn't have a seat in Parliament.
So it's very, very chaotic.
Yeah, I think that's... Burnham would be the clear favourite if he is in.
If Streeting triggered the battle now, others would stand against him.
Names are mentioned.
