00:00Round us out on your thoughts on that one, James. How's he sitting? Is it an uncomfortable leadership position at the moment?
00:07It's extremely uncomfortable and the majority doesn't matter, just as in the last government, which had a majority of 80, went through a number of prime ministers in quick succession.
00:17When the underlying conditions in the country are bad and life is getting worse for most people and you have a government which has basically no idea how to do anything about it, then that creates political volatility.
00:28So it's not surprising that after an unbelievably loveless landslide, I mean, Labour got a third of the votes on a very low turnout and two thirds of the seats and then have done everything possible really since then to make themselves more unpopular and not deliver on the basic thing that they said they would do, which was change.
00:49That was the one word on the front of the manifesto. And instead we sort of have a continuity government with SUNAC with a focus on supposed deliverism, delivering very little apart from poll leads to reform.
