Every bit of money you needed for that campaign, Unite, Len McCluskey was on the phone saying you can have that support.
And Burnham just said it didn't feel right.
It doesn't feel right.
There was discussion at the time about the party, the direction the party was going in, whether it was going to be dragged to the left because of our association with trade unions.
It made a decision which I thought was the wrong decision at the time, but it was a decision which he was absolutely determined to...
But Carl, that's a nice story you just told about Burnham.
No way.
Well, look, I would be careful if I was in what is essentially an election in a by-election, but when my audience is a bigger audience, i.e.
the country.
And that was his problem, I think.
And I think that's why the team around him, Louise Haig and Annalise Midgley, were keeping him away from the press, probably, because it is a difficult scenario.
You can say something...
in a leadership it's rather in a by-election which you're going to have to address once you're in number 10 and the reality was i think most people knew he was going to number 10 down his street whether it was due to the fact that he had won an election for leader or whether he was just sort of coronated which is where we are now
John, I'm a socialist for a start and I think Burnham probably is as well.
I don't think Keir was.
I think the biggest frustration for me with Keir Starmer is you genuinely did not know what he believed in.
You couldn't put your finger on what it was.
If I went into a room with Keir and said, tell me what it is, he wouldn't be able to verbalise the stuff that was in his head.
But he could read it if somebody had written it down.
Yeah, well, it is a joke which I tend to chuckle at when I hear it.
