Is the Labour Party, rather than whispering in corridors,

Sending angry WhatsApps to each other, briefing journalists with only the odd MP with the bottle to go over the top and say we should change the leader.

Is this going to be the moment that the party actually does that?

We simply don't know the answer to that question.

It's possible.

It's absolutely not inevitable, but it strikes me that the question after these results is likely to be as we go into the weekend, what is the evidence that the Labour Party has in front of it that changing the leader would improve their standing?

And what is the evidence that Keir Starmer can actually change and regain anything of the party's popularity?

Because whether it's the polls, whether it's the conversations that we've all had on the road, whether it's the conversations we've had over a period of many months with Labour MPs, MSPs, Senate members, activists, members of the public, they've got a very big problem.

And this weekend has long been seen as the moment that whether or not Labour is going to try and fix that problem.

That said, what I would just say, a member of the cabinet said to me recently, political change is when people think about a big moment.

Actually, it's like when you see the lighthouse in the distance and when you're actually at the lighthouse.

That's not the moment when anybody does anything because we all know it's coming.

So, you know, I know that there are people being drafted into Downing Street to help fight for the Prime Minister's authority on Friday.

Obviously, people have been talking for ages about what they might do this weekend.

Often actually doesn't turn out to be the moment at all.

Well, just if you can see it coming, right?

If you can see this big fat problem coming with you, then you know how to go around it.

And actually, so I probably explained it very badly.

When it was expressed to me, it was probably much more effective.

So sorry about that.
