Seven prime ministers now in 10 years.
We used to laugh at Italy.
They've had four through 16 years.
What's happening here, particularly with Sir Keir Starmer, is an impossibility to get a message across.
He was a lawyer first, a process-driven lawyer, and then a politician.
Even as he left, he laid out and he used the process by which nominations must come forward by the first week of July and then before they recess on July the 16th.
unless there are challenges, Andy Burnham will be the Prime Minister.
So very good on process, very good on law, but unfortunately didn't have that spark that leaders, particularly political leaders, that's what you look for.
So he's paid the price.
I don't think it's an impossible job.
I think you have to be able to have a certain degree of character and charisma.
And Sir Keir Starmer, someone I know moderately well, I've done a lot of phone-ins with him to my radio station.
He's a perfectly charming bloke, but he doesn't inspire.
There doesn't appear to be any fire in the belly.
As I think I said to you last week or maybe before,
You can define.
You don't have to like Thatcherism.
You can define.
You don't like to know what Blairism is.
No one will ever actually know what Starmer is.
