Alex, I can't tell if I should start talking to you or if you're concentrating on something on your laptop or would you like me to talk or...

Why don't you talk for a bit of all, join in?

Well, I... So yesterday, the newscast, we recorded the bit before the music and we dropped it because we then did a different version that felt more appropriate for the moment. But the dropped version included me explaining the devil wears Prada too. Which you, I think, had gone to see. On Sunday. And I haven't yet seen so no spoilers. And Wes Streeting also went to see it on Sunday, not with me.

No, he went with Peter Kyle, one of his political friends.

Yes, the business secretary.

And I was saying, oh, actually the devil was part of two is an appropriate film for this moment because it's all about a historic institution where the longterm head of it is facing a challenge to their

authority.

Ah, parallels.

Yes.

But because you haven't seen it and many newscasters will not have seen it and may want to

see it when it arrives on streaming, I can't tell you how it ends.

And so I can't tell you how appropriate it is as a metaphor for this moment.

Can you just tell us, is it an appropriate ending without giving anything away? It depends whether you think Kirstarmer is Merrill Streep and where's streeting is Emily Blunt. Okay. I feel like I'm going to have to go and watch it just so we can finish this conversation, even in private. I'm not in the pocket of the marketing team of Devil Wars Prada too.

It was a piece of Kyle that brought this up.

Anyway, do you know what?

Here is a reference we can all collect around. Anita, that is Kirstana saying to the cabinet and then through us to Labour MPs, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough. Don't you miss that. Yeah, so that was Henry doing the shift in Downing Street before you then did the shift in dining street with our colleague Anita from the news channel, saying that basically paraphrasing what Kier Starrmer's approach to this whole leadership challenge was, quoting Mel C from the Spice Girls to Oasis. Do you think Henry knew he was quoting Melsie or do you think it was just a phrase that popped

into his head?

Because I feel like your pop culture knowledge would have allowed you to realise that was a Melsi quote. Not everybody might have picked up on that, including me. Well, Chris was also there and he's also here. Hello, Chris. I reckon Henry says that down dark alleys every Saturday night. That's just the way it is, you know. there's no

as well as no doubt

a lifelong

a night. That's just the way it is, you know.
