Well, look, I'm a millennial and an ageing, ageing millennial. And, you know, I would say there's a bit of a deficit of democracy for my generation. Like we don't actually have a lot of choices. And part of that is because of the first past the post system. But also it's because no one's having these conversations.

So I'm not going to say whether you should or should not start a political party, but it is... Interesting. So hypothetically speaking, if we did have a new left-wing party, do you think it should be a separate political project or just really to influence the Labour Party, a bit like reform did with the Tories?

In a year of way too many elections around the world, this one's been looming large over the lot. That is the American election. So November's US election will reverberate around the globe, really, for years to come.

Well, I mean, you know, Keir Starmer keeps talking about continuity and I suppose she's seen as the continuity candidate. I do just want to come back to this quite horrifying picture you painted of Donald Trump becoming president and just really pick your brains about what that means for us in the UK. I mean, lots of Starmer's cabinet have criticised him.
