| 0:00.0 | This is only one person. We did it. This is genius, right? This man was a Conservative |
| 0:11.3 | Minister. This man was the Minister to do with Brexit. This man has got so much to say. Steve Baker, |
| 0:17.1 | good morning. Good morning, Jeremy. What a masterful summary. I mean, I think that Kirstarmer will absolutely have to be dragged out, kicking and screaming. Yeah. I don't know that Labour MPs will actually have the balls to do it. Right. But one thing I'm sure of is the country will be much worse for it. I mean, the civil service, how are they supposed to take the leadership from this guy and his team? But do the, do you get to get me on my favourite service? Do the eight minutes past six to the civil service how are they supposed to take the leadership from this guy and his team but do the |
| 0:37.7 | do you get to get me on my favorite subject eight minutes past six to the do the civil service take |
| 0:41.5 | leadership from any politicians or do they just do what they want anyway well i would say this wouldn't |
| 0:45.4 | i yeah i've always found that civil servants were very good and did what i asked when i asked |
| 0:49.9 | i'm going to ask you to repeat an analogy that he gave Christian and I half an hour ago |
| 0:54.9 | when I set him a very simple question, this is brilliant. I said, why is it that prime ministers, |
| 1:01.3 | even when the game is up, are that blinded to the reality that they come out and say, |
| 1:07.5 | I'm going to be here for another 10 years. Because power is a drug. |
| 1:11.4 | Yeah. Prime ministers are addicts. Somebody once said to me that being a backbencher, it's like a little sniff of cannabis and you think, well, that's okay. Then you become a minister and you learn to snort cocaine. Right. I'm being metaphorical, of course. Of course you are. And then by the time your prime minister, your mainlining heroin, |
| 1:27.0 | this is how it was put to me. I should say, I've never taken |
| 1:28.9 | illegal narcotics of any kind. |
| 1:30.8 | So, you know, the people... Of course you are. And then by the time your prime minister, your mainlining heroin, this is how it's put to me. |
| 1:27.9 | I should say, I've never taken illegal narcotics of any kind. |
| 1:30.7 | So you know the people that are now singing, Keir, Starmat, whatever. Is it now Keir, Starmes a crack? Not that we're up to metaphorically. Metaphorically, we're doing that. Yeah, that is the problem. The power is an, the power is. Well, think about it. I mean, wouldn't you like to just nip along to MI6 and ask them whatever questions you want and be sure of getting an answer? |
| 1:46.9 | I mean, that's you like to just nip along to MI6 and ask them |
| 1:44.5 | whatever questions you want and be sure of getting an answer? I mean, that's, they can, no, once Boris knew he was going, he went flying in a typhoon. Being prime minister's an amazing job. Yeah. Apart from all the miserable things you have to do. So it's what they've always wanted. once they're in, they're addicted to it, they love it, and they have to be dragged out by the feet. |
| 2:03.2 | And I'm just not convinced that... So it's what they've always wanted. Once they're in, they're addicted to it, they love it, |
| 2:01.3 | and they have to be dragged out by the feet. |
| 2:03.1 | And I'm just not convinced that Labour MPs will do it. Straight away, Bill and Cheshire, as Starrman's latest reset, he's just admitted that his first 21 months didn't cut it. It failed dismally. The man without a plan has almost touched reality, but now I have a new plan on the back of his fag packet. |
| 2:16.8 | The country in the world needs me. |
