27:52 Starmer is not a charismatic populist politican, nor is he a great orator. Personally I find those apparent negatives a refreshing change from the narcissistic egomaniacs we've had to deal with recently. Beyond that I give him a lot of credit for not kowtowing to the Murdoch press who are now only relevant because the rest of online media keep them relevant. However it's undeniable that Starmer and other Minsiters could and should be communicating directly with public an order of magnitude more effectively than they have been. Gone are the days when a Prime Minister or any Minister needs to wait for some high pressure interview on TV to communicare their message - they could simply prepare a weekly or even monthly statement to read to camera and release a video to be broadcast across all social media to be picked up by terrestrial TV. "This is what we're doing and this is why we're doing it, and this is what we hope will be the result." As it is, the only people we ever see our Prime Minsiter talking to are other politicians and (typically) rabidly right wing journalists. The only way to efffectively deal with a 'post truth' era, is to tell the truth and do so as authentically and honestly as possible. Put another way, if you're broad philosophy is country before party, then talk to the country and not the Westminister Bubble.

I expect a govt. to change taxes, that's part of their main responsibility. To not adjust taxes to compensate for a changing world is a dereliction of duty. I'm not talking Truss re-writes, just nudges. On the topic of gifts for politicians, they either need to be illegal, or fully publicly audited prior to gifting. It should not be an MPs responsibility to report bribes, they should be passed on from a central civil service office. If you pay an MP directly the police should be calling.
