You know, those are the two options.
You know, there are various smart people who said that, you know, there'll be ways that he could do it
Jim O'Neill, the former Goldman Sachs banker, who's one of the country's most respected economists, was supportive of Andy Burnham's ambitions for long-term borrowing to increase investment because that's kind of the only way that you can make these radical changes unless you're drastically raising taxes, which is just not going to wash.
at the minute you know that is a very jittery bond market there's a lot going on in the world to be kind of nervous about and and and the idea of some kind of radical firebrand coming into number 10 is going to put some people on edge
It surprised me.
But then again, that might be because, you know, Andy Burnham has not had to articulate his views on these, you know, big national issues like immigration, you know, for a long time.
But then again, you know, he's spoken about having to fight in the election that you're in.
And, you know, if he's tough on immigration, that will probably play well to a lot of people in Makerfield.
I think he's looking quite likely.
He will end up in number 10.
I think if he wins the Makerfield by-election, it's still an if.
He's probably the favourite, but only just.
I think the Labour Party will see him as the person who can win possibly the next general election.
The other contenders...
Would they get past the Labour members?
Andy Burnham constantly tops the polls as the most popular politician, actually, you know, among Labour members and among the general public.
If Keir Starmer decides to set out an orderly transition, then I think we could be on for an Andy Burnham prime ministership by the end of this year.
Thank you very much.
