| 0:00.0 | Okay, so a Labour MP is going to get rid of Kirstama, or is he just going to remain in |
| 0:03.6 | powers as a zombie prime minister? |
| 0:05.0 | I think a great person to speak to about this is Clive Lewis, who is the Labour MP for |
| 0:09.8 | Noise South, one of the diminished number of Labour MPs, who we give a two thumbs up to. |
| 0:17.4 | Most of your colleagues are awful. I can say that, |
| 0:21.0 | but, you know, I don't want to get the whip taken off you, or actually, maybe I do, actually. I probably do actually want you to do that, but I'm not going to do it this way. Not that way. Sure. How, let's just start, this is great to see you. Always good to see you. We are. Should we just actually do |
| 0:38.6 | Let's deal with |
| 0:39.4 | a social media rumor first |
| 0:40.7 | Because Let's just start. First, it's great to see you. Always good to see you. We are. |
| 0:40.7 | Should we just actually do, let's deal with a social media rumour first. |

| 1:28.7 | I haven't, Andy Burnham has not picked up the phone to me and asked me whether he can |
| 1:32.3 | have my seat. There's been no conversation like that. So, yeah. Kirstama speech today. |
| 1:38.5 | So this was kind of briefed as the kind of, this is the speech that he has to turn it all around with. |
| 1:46.3 | We'll talk about the results that Labour had last week. |
| 1:50.8 | What did you make of the speech she gave? |
| 1:56.8 | It was like a Vogue on poetry reciting a planning application i mean i it just it just it just |
