London has been his home for over twenty years. matched

That was broadly the message when he didn't stand in the two Greater Manchester by elections in recent months. matched

Zach Plansky is originally from Salford, so is is from Greater Manchester. matched

He didn't run in either Gorton and Denton back in February. matched

Was it February? matched

I think it's February. matched

And uh and Makerfield uh a couple of uh months ago. matched

So uh it would be it'd be quite one for him to not stand in, I think, to be honest. matched

He um matched

th there'll be a bit of that. matched

And then the other thing that has come to me unsolicited, which is just a little insight into the kind of Green Party in England and Wales and their internal uh politics, is that some have been pointing out to me that um as one person put it, it needs to be remembered that his mandate, this is Zach Polansky's mandate as the Green Party leader in England and Wales, is based on not being an MP. matched

It was central p it was a central plank of what he argued just last year. matched

But yeah, a a by election in North London in um in in An matched

Burnham's opening months as Prime Minister, in which the leader of the Green Party in London Wales is their candidate, and let's see if that turns out to be the case, would be quite a tasty uh battle I would have thought. matched

Yeah, so it's a test of uh the extent to which that attempt to bind the left broadly. matched

These are these are imperfect descriptions, aren't they? matched

But black bind the left broadly under under Labour's umbrella will be tested. matched

If you like, that might chalk up in the kind of uh positive column for Andy Burnham. matched
