And I think the answer now is yes.
Is it time for us to actually change the captain on the bridge?
Well, Philip is spot on here.
There's a tradition in politics that's called the men in the grey suits.
Of course, in the Labour Party case, it's the men in the grey boiler suits.
But, you know, where we actually take the prime minister or the politician to one side and say, look, you know, absolutely.
You know, the race is run now.
What it really depends on is who those cabinet ministers are.
obviously, if it's Ed Miliband, you think, well, you know, maybe he's got some skin in the game.
However, if it's someone like David Lammy, who's a very, very close supporter of Keir Starmer, someone like Shabana Mahmood, who's very sort of centralist on this, if it's someone like that, then I cannot see how Keir Starmer can avoid looking down the barrel of the gun.

I think the chances of Wes Street standing against Andy Murnham are simply not.
