Of course, we should focus on what all this means for Starmer and his future.
That's one of the key questions about the consequence of the elections this week.
Jen, where do we stand with Andy Burnham?
Quite striking that he cancelled a long-planned speech for Friday.
On top of that, we've had Lord David Watts, not a household name, but an important machine man, a former chair of the parliamentary committee.
Labour Party come out and say on Friday that Andy Burnham should return to Parliament and make a challenge to Starmer?
That's right, isn't it, Jim?
I mean, there are many moving parts and Downing Street's got to be alive to Feld's council leaders and prominent figures from local government calling for his resignation.
So far, we've had Darren Hale, the leader of the Labour group on Hull, who lost his seat saying that Starmer needs to go.
Beyond that, there's obviously the cabinet, there are other Labour MPs and the trade unions who report suggest are having a key call at 5pm today to discuss what happens.
It seems to me so far we've had people who've already been critical of Starmer and called for his head, using this moment to reiterate that.
The Hartlepool MP Jonathan Brash, Hartlepool's just fallen from Labour to Reform, so perhaps unsurprising he's spoken out.
The General Secretary of the TSSA Transport Union, Mariam Eslam-Dust, has also repeated her call.
What's your sense of whether the pressure is going to bubble up today or whether it might be the weekend next week or further down the line this year, if at all?
Well, we'll be back on Monday to do some more analysis of the entire results and focus much more on Scotland and Wales and to answer all your questions.
And we've had some great ones come in.
So do email us at politicalfixatft.com if you've got a burning question you want us to put to the panel on Monday.
For now, we've just got time left for stock picks.
Stephen, who are you buying or selling this week?
Jim, how about you?
