Certainly, really, I'm afraid for Keir Starmer because it's very hard to see what in one speech Keir Starmer could have said about himself or about what he intends to do that we didn't already know.

You know, he's been around for a long time.

We know who he is.

He can't change overnight.

Yeah, indeed.

You know, these are...

Well-sung songs, I think, from Keir Starmer.

Yeah, this is now about the country, right?

Yeah, and look, and this was a speech also aimed squarely, I think, let's be honest, it wasn't at the country, it was at the Labour Party and it was at Labour MPs.

Now it's about his internal survival right now, so perhaps that isn't surprising.

But, you know, the thing about this speech was is that, in a way, it was classic Keir Starmer in that he said the sort of crux of the speech was to say that what we really need is an argument, an argument...

to take both to Nigel Farage and to Zap Polanski.

Something around which the whole of the Labour Party can cohere and can understand that this is what we're about and take that argument to the country.

No one in the Labour Party would disagree with that.

It's something that the Labour Party has been yearning for, crying out for, deeply desirous of.

Prime Minister identified that an argument was needed and then proceeded not to provide any argument at all.

The argument was that we need an argument.

The Labour Party already knew that.

What they wanted was what the argument, the actual argument itself.

And I think that, you know, if you go back to, as you said, Emily, you know, if you go back to the three things that the prime minister identified as sort of part of the change that he is saying is needed.
