Who knows?

Keir Starmer should be doing a statement in Parliament about the G7 meeting last week.

So he would be in normal times expected to be on his feet in Parliament sometime in the afternoon.

The Parliamentary Labour Party is due to meet on a Monday night because that's like their staff meeting.

They do that every single week.

Now, if Keir Starmer has already concluded that he is going to set out a timetable or maybe even say, do you know what, I'm going kind of now over to you, Andy, and see how you like it, because there's no love lost between the two of them.

Maybe it could be a lectern tomorrow.

Maybe it could be Tuesday morning, which would be the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote.

start your discussion and PhD thesis there.

But yeah, I think it is perfectly likely, I think more than likely, Henry, as you said, that we are going to have some kind of lectern moments in the next 48 hours.

So it's the timetable about when Starmer goes, what happens next and will there be any kind of contest?

I was going to say, also, if they wait, what they might lose is what you were talking about, Paddy, yesterday, is that momentum, the big mo, as it's known in politics.

They have huge momentum right now.

If they hang around until September, maybe it would give them more time to have proper preparation, do their sums, add it up, work out exactly what it wants to do.

But that momentum could by then have completely disappeared and maybe even turned into something really negative.

And this is where it comes down to the rub, right?

If he's getting in there and there isn't a contest, let's say if it is a quick handover, because there still could be a contest and we'll talk about that in a sec.

But if he gets in there, what is he actually going to do?

So one of his supporters, Luke Charters, was on the programme this morning.

And I was very interested that he said, I think quite deliberately, that basically Andy Burnham was going to stick to the Labour Manifesto from 2024.
