I mean, you almost get the impression... Bizarre, isn't it?

Yeah.

But it's like if they knew then what they know now, if you imagine how this Labour government began, you can imagine Keir Starmer, everything he's learnt in the two years, take it back and how he would have approached things on day one with the 400, whatever it is, the massive majority.

Yeah.

And he's now he's sort of getting to grips with what muscular prime ministerial action looks like overnight by authorising fast roping in the channel, bringing in cooperation with Royal Marines and the French were also involved.

And ensuring a camera was there.

I thought that was interesting.

It wasn't body cam footage.

It wasn't grainy footage.

It looked like a very high quality, high definition camera.

That shows that this is a message, I suppose, not just for voters in the UK, but for, well, maybe for Donald Trump, but maybe for Vladimir Putin.

And they want the message of what happened last night to get out.

And the fact that what, I don't know, three, four hours after that all sort of wrapped up, the video is out.

Yeah.

I mean, that says something about the sort of media operation.

Right.

Well, look, that's a lot of what's happened in the journalism so far today.

But I wonder if we should now turn to looking ahead.

One of the big ways we all went to bed last night was knowing that there would be two issues that would happen overnight.

One was the Scotland game against Haiti.
