I can't afford my energy bill. You know, this week we saw energy prices go up as well. I think those kind of tangible things sort of neutralise that good news because people just think I'm not feeling those things in my pocket.

I think there's also a problem with Labour's messaging, which has just been so, we've talked about that before, but it's been so dour and it's really hard to come back from that if that's the kind of tone you set your government off on. But I think they just need some big, bold wins that really change people's lives.

I mean, so in April, there's going to be 750 schools that get this new trial of breakfast clubs. That's going to be something that actually, hopefully we can immediately see makes life better for kids. And hopefully in a year's time, there'll be some research that shows their attainment or their productivity was better. And that could be a good thing.

But again, it's just these little slices of things don't seem to actually compensate for the bigger picture of local authorities going bankrupt or the NHS being on its knees or people feeling like they've got no money and the general breakdown of, you know, communities and people feeling unhappier. It's just really, really hard.

Okay, I'm going to show myself as somebody who hasn't eaten a lot of doner kebabs. Are there not different sizes of doner kebabs? Yes, there are. Right, so... Not enough information. Kebabs, it's like, you know, it's a bit of a sort of after-night-out meal for a lot of people, isn't it? It's become part of our late night food. Well, not for you, as you explained to me.

No, so I, because I come from Yorkshire, always had a pie after a night out. I'm not even joking. They used to be the pie shop. It's shut down now, but we always used to get a pie. So if they told me I had to have... six pies a week rather than eight, I'd be like, of course, I can visualise that.
