Another thing comes up again and again, which is the idea that he's not political.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

Do you think that?

The News Agents

Do you think fundamentally he's kind of in the wrong job?

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

He's not really a politician.

The News Agents

And that's one of the reasons why the public don't get him, which you've alluded to.

The News Agents

So, Wes, look, this has been, I think, for a lot of people, a pretty chilling week in politics.

The News Agents

We've obviously had the case of, tragic case of Henry Novak, which would be tragic in itself.

The News Agents

So you're saying it's fascistic?

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

It's a bit more than nationalism, isn't it?

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

Because you can get contemporary nationalism.

The News Agents

You're talking about something over and above.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

You're invoking the 30s.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

That's not just nationalism.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

You're not saying Farage is a fascist, and I can understand that.

The News Agents
Wes Streeting on why Keir Starmer cannot save himself or his country

But that ad and the strategy and that type of politics of that ad, would you say that that was like fascism?

He talks about the politics of decency.
