They've made an absolute dog's dinner of it
0:02
You're absolutely right. And then also we've got, after awful April, where people's bills were going sky high
0:08
the highest they've been in quite some time, we now have a jump in inflation
0:13
And so added to that, finally, the political kind of intrigue is Angela Rayner kind of declaring pretty much open warfare
0:21
on the number 10, number 11 orthodoxy at the moment, if you like
0:26
And she has, I think, not only is she showing the Labour left, there is another way here, but she's also, I think
0:33
really honing in and kind of pincering on the political capital drain on number 10
0:41
which is Rachel Reeves and number 11. Is she pitching for the top job
0:46
Does she think there's going to be movement? 100%. And actually very skilfully, she is identifying
0:52
that Rachel Reeves is a real, real weakness for this government now
0:58
And I remember it when I worked at Number 10 with Boris
1:03
The Number 10, Number 11 relationship, when times are tough, can get really, really fraught
1:10
And, I mean, I think Starmer, I think he'll be going into work every single day
1:17
and he will be banging his fist on the desk in frustration around the trouble
1:24
that Rachel Reeves is causing. But he and her are tied together
1:28
politically. Absolutely. If she were to go, he would inevitably have to go
1:32
That's what Rainer's doing. He's incredibly politically smart
