So how would you set him up to succeed internationally with your Sherpa hat on?

Well, I think he'll discover very qui- I don't think he'll need to be told.

I think he'll understand that he needs to show that he can get a grip of and, and, and do the international.

There's just no way around it for a modern Prime Minister.

Too many things come to the Prime Minister's desk.

They're not ...

I mean, the foreign office is important, foreign secretary's important, but so much diplomacy and international stuff is now done at leader level.

Can we look forward to a year? Where do you think we'll be on Burnham's premiership, Ukraine, Iran, anything? Where, where do you sort of see, uh, the UK and the world in a year's time?

So over to you, Peter, for your views.

Thanks.

So I'm going to talk about the geopolitics and then get down to some boring issues of intermediate products in supply chains.

So I think the story of climate over the last 10 or 15 years, and story and reality are not necessarily the same, has been that it's primarily an area of cooperation and collaboration internationally.

Why? Because this is a common threat and we all have an interest in dealing with it.

And I'm not so sure that's quite as true anymore I think questions of power and interstate relations are now central to the question of climate change and the transition And now, if you believe the sort of IMF, International Energy Agency view of the world, interstate competition means a slower transition because it means less diffusion of technology, more trade barriers.

It means the domestication of products in a way that is not maximizing economic efficiency.

Do you want to start with that and then take any other and then we'll just go down?
