When I say we're recording at 20 past two, she's not going to call for him to go this weekend unless something really unexpected happens.

She's not going to call for a timetable.

She's not going to call for a contest.

What I expect is that she'll say something about the sort of direction of the party.

But this weekend is not then turning into a maximum moment of jeopardy for the Prime Minister because none of the contenders who want the job have said, out the way, I'm on.

I think that's right.

So Andy Burnham was doing a charity football match last night in which it was let be known that he'd scored two goals.

Yeah, and the video is out there now.

So you've got Gordon Brown with Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham scoring goals.

There's some suggestions I walked into the newscast studio that one of them might have been offside, but I haven't yet seen the video.

Hang on, hang on.

Are we now going to explain the offside rule?

Because it's got everything.

It's got Filofax, Rolodex, photo albums and the offside rule on one Saturday.

I mean, that needs its own podcast.

It's something to do with when someone's running forwards, I think.

OK, yes.

Good.

So, look, let's go to voters.

One of the totemic results that happened was that after 25 years, Conservatives lost control of Essex County Council.
