I suspect that uh Keir Starmer will not
0:02
see out the full term of his government.
0:04
What actually does for him in the end,
0:06
who knows? Maybe simply the fact that a
0:08
rival or an opponent gets their show
0:11
together. But at the moment, it is
0:13
deeply damaging, and there's no way to
0:16
sugarcoat it. There will be many more
0:18
revelations because we've got more
0:19
disclosures of documents coming. There's
0:21
political pressure, political opposition
0:23
leaders of course now calling for him to
0:25
resign. And so, it will rumble on and
0:27
will drag on in this mess. I think it
0:29
just puts to bed the myth that in
0:32
Starmer we had a man of, if nothing
0:34
else, competence and respect for process
0:37
and procedure and rules. And because all
0:39
of these things have been shredded,
0:41
whether that was as a result of his
0:42
naivety or his ignorance or indeed just
0:45
of an arrogance, but I suspect it's all
0:48
related to the underlying fact that he
0:51
was ill-prepared for government and that
0:52
he didn't have a coherent plan. One of
0:54
these days, I suspect one of these
0:56
mistakes is going to knock him out.
