So I wouldn't describe myself in that way, but, of course, you know, we have family in Israel, and that is part of my family. When I was director of public prosecutions, I led my staff in a way where when we succeeded in something, we celebrated together. Of when we got it wrong, I took responsibility. It was my responsibility, and that's how I would lead the Labour Party. That's the message I would send to our staff.
We succeed together, but if something goes wrong, the leader of the organization carries the can and stands up for what's gone wrong, and takes responsibility. I did that for five years. I'm proud of the fact, that I did that, and that's exactly hardly the Labour Party.
