Yeah, I think, first of all, going back to the issue of Victoria, as Dan Hodges said in the mail, I think Victoria seems to be the only ally Keir Starmer has left.

But, you know, it's not unusual that you'd have influential spouses advising you.

I mean, Edith Wilson advised Woodrow Wilson effectively during the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

And, of course, you would have had powerful figures like Nancy Reagan, etc., etc.

I think they're probably the only people you can trust at times like this.

But I think Keir Starmer is gone.

I think he knows it himself.

I saw it in his face on Friday night on the news.

He was still voicing that he was going to fight.

But I could see I didn't believe it for the first time.

I thought the determination was gone.

Going back to the King of the North, he's an interesting man from my view.

He has run for leadership of Labour, I think, three or four times.

I don't think he would have said the line that, you know, I don't have a sweet tooth and eat biscuits, but give me a beer, chips and gravy.

when he was Tony Blair's kind of protege.

So he's very much now positioning himself very much back amongst communities rooted in that.

He senses that the move towards reform and restore is a ground roots movement, that people feel alienated, they don't feel represented by their prime minister.

So I think he's very much positioning himself in that role.

So I think he's a pragmatist.

I think he's, to a certain extent, a populist in that regard.
