Political Thinking with Nick Robinson · 'A bad start even before he starts' - Welsh First Minister on why trouble's brewing with Burnham · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

There's that sense of well there are two things going on then, Nick, if we're if we're honest.

The instability at the UK level, you know, I I get that he had a lot of things on his on his plate that he was thinking about.
