Thank you so much for your time.
That's it for today.
My huge thanks again to Peter Walker, The Guardian's senior political correspondent.
You can keep up with all his reporting and our wider lobby team over at theguardian.com, where we also have a live blog of this story.
And don't miss today's episode of Politics Weekly, our sister podcast with Pippa Queer and Kieran Stacey.
Thanks for listening to this episode of The Latest.
Today on Focus, we'll be back in your feeds as usual tomorrow morning with a look of where it all went wrong for Keir Starmer.
The Latest will be back tomorrow night.
This episode was presented by me, Lucy Half.
It was produced by Annie LaVespa and Bryony Moore.
The senior producer was Ryan Ramgodan.
