The one thing I'd say is that we're always...
told that local elections are about local issues.
You know, when you're covering for the BBC, when you're covering local elections, it's, oh, remember it's about potholes and bins, remember?
And to some extent, that has to be, you know, the way in which you approach these things.
But I would say the local elections, 2026, were weirdly the closest we will get...
to a general election in those terms, because that's the data.
That's where Andy Burnham's looking.
And it actually reminded me more of Theresa May in 2017.
Do you remember?
She was still...
just about in control of the party, but not really.
That was what did for her.
The fact that she lost her majority in 2017 put her into the same place that Keir Starmer was, I think, in 2026.
He was in charge, he was the PM, but basically...
the election results had said already it was game over.
So I do think that's the only bit that I would say from your analogy that we've sort of skipped over.
That data was what gave Burnham the impetus to say, there's nothing left here.
There's no one, there's no place in the country.
You know, to your original question, where would you go to celebrate today, Keir Starmer?
Where would you go?
