Summary

Following the end of Labour Party conference I dissect Labour having a 'Purge' moment and just saying whatever they think about Reform and Nigel Farage. Is it what they think? Probably. Will the public credit their current position given the amount of flip-flopping? Not so sure.

and keir stahmer's speech and sort of where the party are at the end of it. And I personally, I'm in sort of full touring mode. Like last week, last night I had to drive back because I had stuff to do at home this morning from Cardiff. And I want to say to all the men listening, you'll be wondering, how did you do it, Jeff, late at night, 10pm. How many stops? Two-stop strategy I went with, if we're going to look at it in Formula One terms. Probably not healthy if had a taco meet. I might have been in trouble. Two-stop strategy and, yeah, strategic coffee did it in three and a half hours. But the next week is going to be better because I'm in Scotland. I've got

Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So there's going to be a lot of trains. I'm going to feel like Eric Cantonar. I always remember when I think the trains, I still think of that Eric Cantonar advert, you know, Spistobreeze, Spistor Red. You know, Eric made it looks sophisticated. I'll probably be on some dodgy little

right, when you go to service station, you walk in and KFC, Burger King, McDonald's, right? All the

2:31.5

fun stuff. And then M&S. And I go, okay, all right, I get a salad. Or a pasta salad. And I just feel sorry for myself. I don't know what it is. I feel sad for myself when I sit there with that little wooden fork, just opening the plastic thing. I'm sorry. I recognize the health benefits. But eating an M&S salad at the services does make you look like a wanker.
