It's obviously the talk of the town.
There is some nanny state implications to him potentially, almost certainly, becoming Labour leader and Prime Minister in short order.
But just thought it'd be worth, given the fact that he's given his big set piece speech this week, Ben, in which he didn't talk about a hell of a lot.
He thought he'd talk about hope and change and growth in every postcode and what have you.
But what have you made of his...
It is all about vibes.
And it's also such cringe vibes as well.
He's a sort of just a Radio 6 music dad, effectively.
And that seems to work for some people, I suppose, gives them a bit of a warm feeling.
But I think you're right to say it's your father's Labour Party rather than your grandfather's Labour Party as you were.
It's just kind of stuck in the 90s and...
dining out on old political glories as well as banging on about the Hacienda seems to be the order of the day, Chris.
Yeah, that Smith's reference.
Well, I think policy by policy, obviously, certain things can be very popular, but
If you think about the two big issues in terms of polling every single time, it's like cost of living and immigration and those two sort of jostle for position.
On both of those fronts, no one ever thought Keir Starmer was going to get a grip on either of those things.
And I think maybe that's one of the things that feeds the anger is that if you bring back the Labour Party, if you elect this technocrat on the idea that he was just going to be
by sheer boringness and competence would get a grip on the fundamental issues.
The fact that he hasn't whilst he continues to kind of peacock around and acts like a prime minister, I suppose, is part of the anger.
But I do think you're right.
