On this program, alarm clock, Brits, with the non-appearance of Charlie Rowley,

a man who works tirelessly to provide political commentary of an unbelievable quality,

he was at home with the shakes.

Now, some of you might deem from that that he's got a drinking problem. I've no idea. But no, he's climbed from his sickbed and he's here. Charlie Rowley, my hinge to my bracket. The hinge to my bracket is here. And thank you for having me. And thank you for the love and support yesterday. But I neither felt that I could be hinge or brackets. There is just one point I want to make. You said that you were ill yesterday and you couldn't come on, you couldn't phone us and be on the show because you couldn't hold the phone. But you texted us, Charlie. We've asked you on a lie-Did, what's happening? I think I said, I think what I actually said, I couldn't think or move.

Are you better anywhere? I am. I think it's been high drama for the last week since the local elections and non-stop. So when your body tells you you need to stop, you just need to. My body told me years ago. It's absolutely knackered. Five past six, good morning, alarm clock, Britschie with talk of course the home of common sense and the home of you the alarm clock Brits

whose views on the news we want we are going to be. alarm clock, British, you with talk, of course, the home of common sense and the home of you,

the alarm clock Brits, whose views on the news we want. We are going to be at it again today for the

next four hours. 034-4-4-9-1,000. Tommy's taking your calls. Who's going to get the first voice

note in this morning? Is today the day? Please, God, it is. You can also text the show. 8-7, treble to start your message with the word talk. Straight away, Joanna and Salsby, Jez, is streeting part of the plot so Stama can get rid of Miliband? I have no idea. If Ed Miliband runs up PM, he has to resign his cabinet position. The only way Starmer to get Miliband out. See see this is the whole thing i just would love your

take we saw and have seen so much over the last three days yesterday just before we finished

11 unions came out and said stammer's position was untenable west streetings ally saying he will

resign you told me out there you don't see it happening what's your thoughts well the reason why I think it's so complicated this morning is because you've got the two, at the minute, it feels like two camps. You've got obviously team Kirstama, team Prime Minister and team Wes. And Wes thinks that he's got the numbers. Wesley. Wesley. Wesley. Don't let's disrespect him. He's called Wesley. Wesley. Wesley, he seemed to be, no doubt, Sir Wesley. Yeah. As all the others are, Sir, Sikir, Sir, Sadiq. But I think Wes seems to think he's got the numbers. That's the number, the magic number, 81 MPs that you need to trigger this whole contest. He will have to resign from the cabinet if he wants to mount that leadership contest. But the prime

minister and his team were briefing out yesterday that they think that Wes has overplayed his hand.

The prime minister was talking to ministers last night, junior ministers, senior ministers, he'd already

spoken to his cabinet. He obviously thinks that he can stay in this race. And if a leadership

election is triggered by West's treating everything those numbers, then the prime minister thinks it's still all to play for. Now, who knows? And whilst all these shenanigans are going on, the country's on its ass. That's the worst thing of it, isn't it? And that is the one thing that Kirstonga, as Prime Minister said, that he wouldn't let happen. He wouldn't let Labour be labor plunged plunged the country into chaos like we saw under the tories well let's play a clip

because you're absolutely right in opposition it's all the nasal night went on about end the

chaos and play the clip marky seeing this story time and time again with this lot, party first, country second, safely

esconsed in Westminster, they get down to the real business of fighting each other to death.

The country forced to endure their division and chaos.

Weird, but so true.

Absolutely, absolutely. And make no mistake, the country will be plunged into chaos if this leadership election plays out, because we still don't know other players and names I'm sure we'll talk about a bit more at length. If Andy Burnham, you know, Andy Burnham, you know, rides down from Manchester. Did you not think that was the best bit yesterday during the King's speech, bless his art black rod it's a ceremony thing has to go and knock on the door of the commons
