00:00They've made an absolute dog's dinner of it. You're absolutely right.
00:03And then also we've got after awful April where people's bills were going sky high, the highest they've been in quite some time.
00:11We now have a jump in inflation. And so added to that, finally, the political kind of intrigue is Angela Rayner kind of declaring pretty much open warfare on the number 10, number 11 orthodoxy at the moment, if you like.
00:25And she has, I think, not only is she showing the Labour left, there is another way here, but she's also, I think, really honing in and kind of pincering on the political capital drain on number 10, which is Rachel Reeves and number 11.
00:44Is she pitching for the top job? Does she think there's going to be movement?
00:48A hundred percent. And actually very skillfully, she is identifying that Rachel Reeves is a real, real weakness for this government now.
00:59And I remember it when I worked at number 10 with Boris, like the number 10, number 11 relationship when times are tough can get really, really fraught.
01:09And, I mean, I think Starmer, I think he'll be going into that, into work every single day and he will be, you know, banging his fist on the desk in frustration around the trouble that Rachel Reeves is causing.
01:26But he and her are tied together politically.
01:29Absolutely.
01:29If she were to go, he would inevitably have to go.
01:32And that's what Rainer's doing. That's what Rainer's doing is incredibly politically smart.
01:35And that's what Rainer's doing.
