But I understand he was preparing for today's debate.
My frustration is, and I think frustration of lots of people who know him, is...
that he is actually the kind of grown-up, serious prime minister we need for these really serious times.
I think he is the person who doesn't represent a particular faction in the Labour Party and therefore can take the Labour Party through a very, very rocky period in government.
I think he is the person who actually has the values and the principles and the patriotism to lead Britain through this really difficult time.
But I haven't seen enough of that Keir Starmer.
I've seen too often a Keir Starmer, you know, who'll rage against, you know, civil servants sitting in a tepid bath of marriage decline who, you know, will blame other people.
Yeah, it was around the time that Peter Manson's appointment was being made.
And so, yeah, you can see, you know, there's a sort of implicit pressure on civil servants there.
And, yeah, I think...
I don't think it's ever really a good look for a Labour Prime Minister to sort of be raging against the state apparatus.
The state is actually the way we bring change.
And I think the left dissenters should believe in a state.
And I think too often there's been this irritability of, oh, we haven't made enough progress because civil servants have been getting away.
And maybe sometimes when those civil servants are saying, are you sure, Prime Minister, is that really a good idea, Prime Minister?
They're not actually seeking to be an obstacle.
They're actually giving him good advice.
Tom, can I try a yes-no question on you?
Try.
Will he lead Labour into the next election?
