who I know, who I kind of knew him properly before he became Prime Minister, which as I said, make uh we used to work together um at the House of Commons.
And as I said, that has the benefit of making me feel sort of very old and also a a a great underachiever.
So there is a you know, I I I and I've been completely honest about it.
As a result of that I quite like him.
I hope he does well.
Um so what's he like then?
He's broadly what you see, actually.
There's not a you know, there's no sort of great sort of hidden side to An to Andy.
Um, I mean, a lot of people I know are sort of talking about, oh, you know, the the sort of the northern I'm I'm I'm from up north, sort of shtick is is start to gray.
It's not Stick, it's who he it's who he actually who he actually is.

Um, being Prime Minister is going to be very different from being Mayor of Manchester.
But the point was, as I said, you know, we worked together for the best part of five years.
He's been in politics basically all his life and he's a very, very political creature.
So this idea is some sort of babe in the woods who'd come into Westminster and go, Oh my God, what's going on here?
