Hello, it's me, Camilla Tominey, just reflecting on a really interesting show in the wake of the local election results, which, let's be honest, were disastrous for the Tories.
I did ask Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary, why he was on the ground and not the party chairman, Richard Holden, because he's the one who should be answering questions right now.
The most interesting part of the Harper interview was that he couldn't seem to give us a clear answer on why on earth Rishi Sunak didn't vote for Susan Hall in the London mayoral elections, even though he was entitled to, because he could have voted in his constituency of Richmond, which is in North Yorkshire and in London because his address is also Downing Street.
I don't know whether it's a kind of conspiracy or a cock up, but we didn't get an answer to that.
Camilla Tominey: It would have been easy for the Tories to hide in a dark room after that local election bashing

Pat McFadden, Labour's campaign co-ordinator, was obviously cock-a-hoop at being on the telly, able to do a victory lap on behalf of Labour, although we couldn't really pin him down on what they're going to do to try and entice more Muslim voters to vote for Labour.
Obviously that whole kind of George Galloway contingent of pro-Palestinian candidates is eating into Labour's vote in the same way that reform is eating into the Conservatives.
Spoke to Robert Buckland and Theresa Villiers, who were basically saying that the Tory party needs to have an appeal to Tory voters beyond the reach of Reform and others.
How they do that, goodness only knows. I mean, the Prime Minister is continuing with this. We're sticking with the plan, even though, as I said to Mr. Harper, 'the plan doesn't appear to be working'.
So it's difficult. But I thought at least I sort of have to be appreciative to Tories coming on after a difficult weekend because it would be easy to go and hide in a dark room and never face the light of day again.
But we had three conservatives in here who were quite happy to kind of face the music.
