And the great ones.

Let's compare it to some other pre-resignation speeches.

Boris Johnson in July 2022.

As I've seen in Westminster, the herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves.

Slightly more poetic than Starmer.

They partied so hard they heard it against him.

He must feel like he only won an election five minutes ago and that this has all happened very, very quickly and his language reflects that.

Yeah, Boris had also said, I know there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few who will also be disappointed.

And I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world, but them's the brakes.

See, a bit of levity on the end kind of helps.

But do you think Starmer could learn a bit from that?

You know, had he put a bit of levity in?

I mean, maybe he will with his final, final speech.

So do you think actually, had he forced himself to have moments of levity, that might have helped in any way?

Had he occasionally said, but them's the breaks?

Am I giving him an extra couple of weeks?

What about Arsenal winning the league?

The glasses, the jacket.
