Yeah, exactly.
I mean, people say that he will earn the Labour government a new hearing.
People have basically stopped listening to Keir Starmer.
They tuned him out.
And Labour MPs convinced themselves that they were heading for defeat under Keir Starmer's leadership in the next election.
Burnham will come in and he will get a hearing.
And you just heard in that clip that he is a great communicator.
He talks the language of ordinary people.
He doesn't sound like a conventional tribal politician.
But, you know, when he gets that hearing, what's he going to say?
And I think that's where the big questions arise.
Does he actually have a clearly worked out plan to deal with some of the big intractable problems facing the UK at the moment?
Yes, well, there's lots of speculation around.
I mean, we've been told that Shabana Mahmood, who's currently the Home Secretary, is likely to become the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
So that's going to the big problem space in the country that most of them obviously come down to.
finances, public finances, which in the UK are very strained at the moment.
Debt levels are high, taxes are high, and Andy Burnham wants to spend some more money.
So the first budget in the autumn will be a big moment for whoever the new chancellor is.
As I said, we expect it to be Shabana Mahmood.
Ed Miliband, who had been tipped as the front runner for that job, former Labour leader, of course, we think he's probably most likely to go to the Foreign Office.
