The idea that reform won, I think, all nine seats that were up for grabs in the local council only in May, just a few short weeks ago.
But suddenly, no, they've decided they've got no time for reform and Nigel Farage.
And it's all over.
They've peaked.
It's over.
It's now back to the two-party system.
I think, frankly, it's a load of nonsense.
Well, you've got to remember, I mean, again,
ostensibly this is a Labour safe seat if such exists anymore.
Would realistically another Labour candidate that wasn't Andy Burnham and wasn't someone who could be the Prime Minister in, who knows, a few days, a week's time, a few months' time, would that Labour candidate, whoever they were, would they have been able to beat reform in that seat?
I think that's a very big question.
And this is why this wasn't a victory for Labour.
This wasn't a defeat for reform.
This was a victory for the candidate who can get rid of Keir Starmer, who in this case happens to be Andy Burnham.
This is the same as, look, remember in 24 that all the gushing, I mean, the oozing of joy from a lot of the mainstream broadcasters when they were reporting the election result, this amazing 400,
and three, I think it was on the day, Labour MPs, this massive majority for Keir Starmer, you know, less than 34% of the vote.
It wasn't a vote for Keir Starmer and Labour, it was a vote against the Tory governments and their failures.
So again, I just think, I think people can massively over-interpret what this means.
On this given day, people voted to get Keir Starmer out.
I'd have probably voted for Andy Burnham in Makerfield if I'd had a vote.
