Hi folks, welcome back to another one of these political chats that we've been having.

And today I thought we'd have a talk about what I'm going to call the view from the

Starma bunker.

Now, the Starma bunker is the term I've been using to describe the atmosphere inside

Kears cabinet.

I want to see a film of this called, I don't know, downfall something.

Because it does, but it feels a lot like that.

Yes.

You know, Starma like Hitler is besieged on all sides.

Various enemy divisions are moving in, and he doesn't know what to do.

And so this is just generally the atmosphere that comes across from the Labour government.

Everything they put out, everything they say and do, is under a real atmosphere of

tension. And this, this was best exemplified for me in Kirstarmer's New Year's message. Now we're

going to watch under about 30 seconds of this, but just pay attention to his body language.

I haven't seen this. I'm seeing this for the first time.

I mean, he's not the world's greatest speaker anyway.

But when it's a bit difficult when you haven't got a soul to communicate with other humans.

And, like, you've got to come away from this thinking, was this really the best take they could do?

Yeah.

Things have been tough in Britain for a while.

For many, life is still harder than it should be.

You long for a bit more money in your pockets, a meal out, a holiday.
