Well, okay, there's a number of things.

Can I just start it before you go along there?

Because I do want to go back to something that I said there about, you know, this is like a, you know, governments don't win by elections.

I mean, certainly.

In mid-term, we've got this much unpopularity, particularly for the leader.

But I don't think this was effectively a government party candidate winning.

The people who voted for Andy Burnham, the popularity he has, is because he's not the government.

He's the anti-government Labour figure.

He's the mayor of Manchester.

He's almost completely disassociated from this government.

He can criticise their policies.

He's completely safe.

He's not responsible for any of the decision-makings, any of the U-turns.

any of the abject lack of any activity to do anything.

He's not being treated as a representative in any way of this government.

He's being treated as the alternative to this government, which is why I don't think that thesis quite holds tight.

Yeah, I agree with an awful lot of that.

I mean, certainly what happened at the Reform Conference was utterly bizarre.

I mean, some things you can never sort of unsee or unhear.

But it troubles me to this day.
