You don't.
Like much of the rest of the party, you don't think he is the person to lead the party to the next election.
You just don't.
I noted something else in the speech, which would be quite interesting to get your thoughts on.
You're the mayor of London.
We saw in many parts of London, not all, but many parts of London, the Green Party doing extremely well in certain boroughs, depriving the Labour Party or taking control away from the Labour Party of boroughs the Labour Party has long controlled.
In the same breath in that speech, Keir Starmer referred to the Greens under Zach Polanski and Nigel Farage and reform, basically saying that they are all forces of extremism
Do you think talking about the Greens in that way, in the same breath as Farage and Reform, is a mistake?
One last thing before you go, because I know you've got to go.
If you were a member of the NEC and it were to come up that Andy Burnham had applied for selection for a vacant parliamentary seat, would you vote to allow him to stand in that by-election?
Do you think he'd make a great prime minister?
But if there were to be one, do you think he'd be a good one?
Meghan, so grateful for your time.
Thank you so much.
So Sadiq Khan, I think the funny thing, Emily, about that interview or about kind of where Khan is, is that I think we kind of basically just heard the kind of median position of most of the Labour Party right now, certainly at parliamentary level, which is that you could hear it from Khan.
You know, it's clear that he does not think like most of the Labour Party do.
that Starmer should lead them into the next election.
I think it is clear that they think it would be better if he were to go soon-ish, i.e.
he kept saying that essentially it's all very well doing this, but you need to have a plan.
And by plan, what we keep hearing and seeing from MPs is really, I think, the optimal position for a lot of these MPs
