They should not be doing this, grinding people down, trying to accept the least that they can get away with.
Lateness.
This is also, for me, a Westminster habit.
My experience over a long time of ministers turning up on time was never.
One thing that Andy Burnham and I seem to have in common is we do like to be liked and I can't always be liked and neither can he.
Well, I don't think it's necessarily, you know, easy at all there.
And we're not turning our face away from clean air.
All I would say is what gets the change as quickly as possible.
The change will be driven through the Prime Minister's office in an extended operation based here in Manchester.
We will ensure all parts of the UK are able to take greater public control of essential services like water, housing, energy and transport.
I know many people feel that at the start of Israel's military action in Gaza, my party didn't get it right.
I am sorry about that.
The response has too often not been good enough.
We need to do better.
Yes, we have taken some important steps.
I think Andy will have counted all that he's
gone through all the risk he's taken as absolutely futile if he doesn't win Labour a second term and therefore have a period ahead to be able to deliver.
The great strength of Andy Burnham from my point of view is just how much he's matured, just how much he's learnt in the nine years he's been heading the very large metropolitan area of Greater Manchester and how he's developed the public-private partnership, how he's brought people in of different political persuasions to work with him to achieve a common goal and being able to determine what that goal is and then focus...
stiletto heel style on getting it done is what Andy Burnham's currently remembered for and I hope will be remembered for as Prime Minister of our country.
