So it is still, in an odd way, a good business to be in.

12 past 6.

Yeah, Starmer developments are interesting.

Angela Raine has weighed in.

She hasn't launched a challenge, but she's weighed in.

She's basically said he's got to do a lot better and now, and that Burnham, blocking Burnham, Andy Burnham, the mayor of Manchester, that was a big mistake.

Catherine West, who's a nobody, if you're not up on this, has said, if somebody doesn't, I will come Monday.

She needs 20% of the caucus, which is 81 members.

It looks like she's got it.

So that will at least trigger a vote.

So watch this space.

15 past.

From Generate Greg Smith, welcome to Monday.

Thank you, Mike.

Morning.

Now, those numbers, they keep... I mean, every time you look at the US job numbers and wonder whether things are falling apart, they don't.

There's a few cracks under the surface, actually.

But yeah, payrolls rose 115,000 in April, so that's well ahead of the 55,000 expected.

It's down from 85,000 in March, but that was really strong.

But yeah, when you look at it, Mike, there's certainly some resiliency.
