It is three minutes after 10. It's strange, isn't it, how caution can sometimes, what's the word that I'm looking for?

It can sometimes leave you looking a little bit daft or even a little bit weak. I mean, everybody, for example, wants to see the Iranian, well, almost everybody wants to see the Iranian regime removed. 20%, as we discovered yesterday,

the Iranian population do not. They want things to stay as they are. But if you urge caution,

if you point out that things have gone horribly wrong in the past when the United States

have a bit of fun at Lisa Nandy's expense at the moment because I, but I mean, I'm tempted to have a bit of fun at Lisa Nandy's expense at the moment because

I but I mean the only thing that's holding me back is the fear that she might be ill or something
