I bet you're not calling for a general election, Ian Dale says. I think there will be plenty of very good candidates emerge from the pack. In fact, we should say we're recording this. It's 4.33 on Thursday afternoon. Where are you? I'm in my office in the Royal London Hospital. Although at half past one this afternoon, I was in Port Colis House, Westminster. Oh, yeah, having got through security because the woman who did the frisky thing that they do said, you used to be the home secretary, didn't you? I said, yes, I did.
