The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

That's a very interesting framing.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

In this thing, maybe people begin to feel that Starmer's a bit of a Chamberlain and John Healy's a bit of a Churchill.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

He's kind of saying, here's this big threat from Russia.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

We need to rearm.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

You're not rearming.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

And he becomes the great thundering voice on the back benches, calling for a totally different strategy.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

Well, we've got David F. Murphy.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

Does Healy's principled resignation put him in prime position to be Labour's John Swinney?

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

John Swinney being, of course, the leader of the SNP, Scottish leader who came in after Nicola Sturgeon, who sort of looks a little bit like John Healy from a distance.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

So there's a bit of a similar feeling to the two men, isn't there?

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

Could he be the steady elder statesman who takes over to stop the bleeding?

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

So anyway, I just thank you, everybody who's getting involved, because these are really interesting sort of historical comparisons, national comparisons.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

What do you think about Healy as the John Swinney of the Labour Party?

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

There is a bit of John Swinney about him, isn't there?

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

There is, yeah.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

That's very loyal.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

I don't like that.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

Yeah, and somebody else... Sorry, we're not going to be dragged into this kind of stuff.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

There's also... Let's get back to the biggest use.

The Rest Is Politics
542. Starmer Loses His Defence Secretary: What Next?

Let me finish you with a final thing.
