Trump is giving Iran the ability to become again the great threat to the region and to the world.
You don't negotiate with people who believe they are put on Earth by God to destroy America.
This is an Islamist war against the West.
It cannot be lost.
If it's lost, the West is lost.
They're not building intercontinental ballistic missiles because they want to hit Israel.
They're doing it for America.
So what would you have Trump do?
If you go to war, you have to do it properly.
Yeah.
There has to be boots on the ground, but the boots need to be the Iranian people.
Well, as you say, Mr. Burnham looks like he's going to become the prime minister.
I think among the British public, the niceties of the British constitution aside, they are furious that they elected somebody that they thought was going to be in power for five years, Sir Keir Starmer, and now they find some other bloke is going to be prime minister, and they didn't vote for him, and they feel a bit short-chained.
So I think that's quite dangerous.
for Andy Burnham.
I think he's got a bit of a dilemma.
If he's going to continue with the manifesto commitments laid out by Keir Starmer and enacted by Keir Starmer's government, he's going to find himself in exactly the same position of total unpopularity and manifest incompetence and worse that Keir Starmer found himself in.
If he decides that he wants to junk all that and do something very different, then he's got a problem because he has no standing to do so, because that's not the agenda on which the Labour government or the Labour Party won its stonking great majority.
So he, in all honour,
he would need to call a general election very fast.
