She's not been found to have been reckless or worse regarding her tax affairs.
It was a mistake, but she's not been fined for it.
Well, that's right.
And that sort of massively heats things up.
At the same time, you know, again, signalling today she won't trigger a contest herself.
So all eyes are really on where's streeting and we're waiting now.
We've just had the latest NHS waiting list data, which shows the biggest fall in quite some time.
So if he's going to do it, you'd think that now would be the moment off the back of that data to launch.
Well, that's the key question, isn't it?
I've certainly been privy to some of that lobbying and briefing myself.
I've heard from more than one loyalist MP that they believe that Wes Streeting doesn't have more than 30 rock-solid names, less than half the 81 needed.
It's so difficult to tell.
In one sense, you know, there are ministers who would back him if there were a contest, but don't want to have to resign and go over the parapet in the event that, you know, a contest isn't triggered and then they've lost their job in government, their sort of red briefcase, their government car and so forth.
Well, well, quite, quite, if you take a more innocent view of politicians' intentions.
And on top of that, the other point I'd add is that this lobbying effort also potentially has the successful effect of deterring other MPs from backing Wes.
It's a clever tactic.
Well, remarkably few details have leaked from it.
It's very curious.
And ahead of the meeting, both sides made clear they weren't going to brief.
They wanted to respect the monarch and not cause any embarrassment to the palace as the king was en route to Westminster to read out the king's speech, the legislative agenda for the next session of parliament.
