The Tory party is sort of foaming at the
0:01
mouth. They've been hugely embarrassed
0:03
that we weren't there launching our own
0:04
planes off our own carriers. Um, how
0:07
much of this is now going to shape
0:08
politics in the UK over the next few
0:10
weeks? I think it's going to shape
0:11
politics profoundly. I mean, this comes
0:14
by-election in Gorton and Denton, which
0:16
was an absolute disaster for Labour.
0:18
The Greens won that, we think, partly by
0:21
encouraging sort of block voting
0:24
among the Muslim population, very much
0:25
with Gaza kind of central issue in that
0:27
by-election, and I think will continue
0:29
and foreign politics therefore will
0:31
continue to influence the domestic
0:34
landscape. Keir Starmer is in an
0:35
incredibly weak position. His own
0:37
backbenchers furious with him, they
0:40
You know, clearly a huge mistake, I
0:42
think, to block Andy Burnham from
0:43
standing in Gorton and Denton cuz he'd
0:45
have won that. He would probably then
0:46
have challenged Keir Starmer for the
0:47
leadership, but I think he's going to
0:49
get that challenge anyway.
