Yes, yes. So this seems like a good opportunity to think about Labour, actually, because, yes, of course, we've been talking a lot about Ukraine and Trump, but there has been a few positive stories for the government. So last week they met their commitment for bringing on 2 million more NHS appointments. We also heard about £270 million of culture funding too. But this news is not cutting through.

These kind of economic solutions that... you know, arguably could be a counter to far-right power. It's not making it. What's happening here?

Well, look, I think maybe Labour needs some help with their PR. They you know, one organisation they could be taking tips from, are the Climate Change Committee, who this week created, you know, I would say a relatable way of measuring our climate change impact, and it is kebabs.

and given it to us as an understandable metric for our meat consumption and has suggested that Brits need to drop their meat quota from eight to the equivalent of six. So we eat the equivalent, apparently, of eight doner kebabs and we need to go down to six.

You keep it in the bag. Yeah. You know, some keep hot sauce, not you, Yorkshire tea. Yeah. Anyway, though, I do actually genuinely think it's a really great way of drawing attention to this issue. British people love kebabs. Yeah. All of it was to draw attention to what the UK needs to do to meet its net zero commitments by 2050.

So by 2038 to 2042, the majority of homes will need to have ditched their gas boiler for a heat pump, switch to an electric car and, of course, eat a few less kebabs.
