But my goodness, the wider conversation is absolutely roaring along.
And yeah, the development at Tea Time on the
Thursday, was Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, not an MP, he's got to be MP to be a candidate to be the Labour Party leader, saying he's found a seat, make a field, not a million miles from Manchester city centre to the west of Manchester.
And the MP there, Josh Simons, is going to stand down and so there'll be a vacancy.
And not only that, but Labour have made it clear that this time, unlike that by-election not a million miles away
in Gorson and Denton a few months ago, this time they will let Andy Burnham stand as the Labour candidate, or at least they won't stand in his way.
So we are looking at the prospect of a by-election in which Andy Burnham is the Labour candidate.
In other words, he has a potential path back to Westminster.
What
barnstorming circus of a by-election it's going to be.
It'll be extraordinary because you've got a guy on the ticket whose pitch is, I want to be prime minister.
He won't be running, defending Labour's record in government over the last two years, although plenty of people will challenge him about it given that he's Labour on the ticket.
He's going to be running to be prime minister.
And Reform are already saying they're going to throw everything at it.
They did pretty well in the area in the elections last week.
last week.
What a thing that's going to be.
Yeah, I mean, quick caveat, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, given that there's that by-election to come.
But it's a totally fair kind of question.
Sorry to be a party pooper.
