Do would be an interesting. I do want i know want to ask you, because i know this quite this has become quite a contentious issue in the american up. American election. Hotting up. This was of bidens biggest this was one of bidens biggest talking the of talking points in the state of the i think, the union, where they, i think, misquote trumps misquote or misrepresent trumps argument, if nato argument, which is that if nato countries willing to pay countries arent willing to pay their he encourage their way, he would encourage russia to and hes russia to invade. And now hes just it a bit of hyperbole. It was a bit of hyperbole. Biden quoted state of the biden quoted in the state of the union, if thats just what he union, as if thats just what he wants hes even said it wants to do. Hes even said it encouraged putin. Its disgusting. Its a joke. Disgusting. Its a trump joke. Its not a well its a its not a very well advised joke, but is in advised joke, but it is in bidens trump said it, bidens defence, trump said it, and dont think he it as and i dont think he said it as a joke. Ee ee spoken of his desire and hes spoken of his desire to to america to leave nato to pull america out nato leave europe. Out of nato and to leave europe. And i think its literally in his book, the art of the deal, this is you you look as this is what you do. You look as if want to walk away, and if you want to walk away, and that people meet you. That forces people to meet you. Youre about but when youre talking about global geopolitics, where something global geopolitics, where somethircomes from peoples strength comes from peoples belief in it, belief that it will countries will respond will all countries will respond if attacked, if if one country is attacked, if one the main country one of the if the main country in it says, oh, you know what, were actually not to were actually not going to do it. Attack this it. No, go ahead and attack this country mafia thing. Me. You t pay me. You gotta pay me. Otherwise i would just say yes. By otherwise i would just say yes. By means, their take by all means, take their take their produce and close their cafe down. We have just time quickly the i. Leo. Quickly to look at the i. Leo. Falls as so the budget falls flat as tories votes reform. Tories lose votes to reform. So apparently voters have been surveyed the budget surveyed and they say the budget wont back wont persuade them to back the tories. I tories. But at the moment, i dont even even if dont think even if, even if everybody got given, you know, piles solomons piles of diamonds from solomons mines, i dont think people would tory. You know, would vote tory. You know, theyre never going theyre just its never going to happen. Terminal tailspin. So the interesting thing is the pubuc the interesting thing is the public individual things public support individual things in the budget. So the fuel duty freeze , the cut to national freeze, the cut to National Insurance. But overall they say now this budgets rubbish even though i like the things in it. So im going to vote. Yeah. So im not going to vote. Yeah. Well a claim they well theres a claim they support single individual support every single individual measure but not the whole which would measure but not the whole which wotthere is some in that there is some logic in that which of course i want which you say, of course i want the insurance cut, but the
