This is so true! It happens on camera at the 35-36 second point. 👁👁 Importantly, I think this is also the moment where Ed Miliband decided he's going to stand for party leader (and PM) again.

You can actually see the moment Ed Miliband thinks, what's the point burning through whatever political credibility I've got left energetically defending a man who's going to be gone in a matter of weeks.

Great to see that the BBC live coverage of Mandygate by our correspondent Fill Space has decided to throw the views of some Five Live listeners into the pot of speculation. Some think Starmer should carry on, some not. Thanks for that, lads, it's added a lot.

They'll try and Weekend at Bernies the corpse, but it ain't coming back. They should give up now before the public notices that they're wasting our time.
