But he seemed to be offering incremental change in terms of our relationship with Europe on the basis of what he said.
Was it enough?
And you think rejoining the customs union and single market in advance of the next general election?
But Mekong, you think that the answer to these elections for the Labour Party to restore trust would be for the Labour Party to break its manifesto pledge and go back on the red lines on single market and customs union?
and to turn around to all those places in the Red Wall which were highly Brexit voting, which have just endorsed, again, Nigel Farage via the Reform Party to say, we're going to go back, reopen Brexit and join these institutions.
That would be the answer for the Labour Party?
Do you think that Keir Starmer should lead the party to the next election?
Can I hear what you're saying on the need for a change of substance?
But still, it is important.
The personnel is important.
Do you think that Keir Starmer is the best person, even with some of that change, to lead the Labour Party into the next general election?
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.

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.
