And I think it would have probably had to be something big.
They're quite scuppered by the fact there's no money around.
But I mean, I don't know.
I don't make the policies, but it could have been a nod towards electoral reform or closer links with Europe.
He did talk about Europe quite a lot.
And interestingly said he thought Brexit had made the UK less secure and less rich, which is quite something.
It's difficult to say because the one practical point to note is that even if she did have more than 81 MPs replying to this email she sent to all Labour MPs saying, yes, I do want him to set a timetable, that has no force.
If you have 81 MPs saying that they're going to back you to challenge for the leadership under Labour rules, that does mean something.
But just saying we would like him to go at a certain point, you know, it doesn't force him to do anything.
It has the kind of effect of being a no-confidence letter, but you'd probably need more than 80 MPs to do that.
With West, it's quite interesting because no one expected that.
She is a reasonably long-serving MP.
She represents a North London constituency.
I've been talking to people who know her and
who who understand the rationale for what she did and apparently she was sitting watching the results come in and she's a formal former council leader and she saw so many friends in north london councils just lose their seats and she's getting more and more angry and thinking surely someone's going to do something but then no one did and apparently she decided to just immediately act before everyone got back to westminster and she was basically talked around from doing it right but i think
The reason that she's had this slight switch from being a direct leadership challenge to be this call for him to go at a certain time is it gives everyone a bit more time.
And apparently her feeling is she doesn't want to have a leadership change which people feel they were pushed into, which feels like a stitch up.
If it does take place, she wants it to happen in a kind of orderly way.
As a stand-in Andy Burnham.
There's a lot of people who believe he is going to move.
