The blast. We can go to Beirut And Anna foster. We were speaking to our colleague who was saying the news has been reported on iranians media. That is right. It is an important moment. What i think will be a moment when you see a collective outpouring of grief in southern suburbs of beirut and the south of the country and the south of the Country And Bekaa valley is when we have the funeral.

In the article that i wrote in the hours after the election, then i came on your show that weekend. I said that we failed to deliver on the economy, on the nhs and our borders. So there are multiple failures that we need to acknowledge as a party. Whilst obviously defending the things we got right in government, and then weve got to listen to the public and set out serious answers to those challenges. Ive spent the last few months thinking very deeply about how we do that, and i dont want to waste the next five years debating those things.
