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.

To quote Peter Mandelson, it's advanced buckle, advanced buckle.

He never had anything that actually drove him on.

We still don't actually know what he stands for.

I think that's one of the big ones.

I think you look at the first few policies when he came in, cutting welfare, cutting winter fuel payments to needy pensioners, taking on the farmers.

That didn't help either.

But his appointment of Peter Mandelson showed woeful, woeful judgment.

And then, of course, there's the idea of taking free glasses and suits and borrowing someone's apartment.
