Keir Starmer

It's not about me.

Well, you know, let's see what happens.

I work very well with Burnham, which I think gets to the frustration that many in his party feel about him kind of taking you around the houses instead of answering something directly.

But there is a lot hanging on what actually happens if Burnham finds a seat to fight.

And it just so happens that this morning we learnt that

that Andy Burnham had taken a train from Manchester to Euston.

Good luck.

Yeah, exactly.

We'll expect him in about two weeks then.

Exactly.

I think they actually saw him arrive, which suggests he probably left yesterday.

I mean, presumably left yesterday before he saw that Keir was defiantly staying.

But I wonder if there's a world in which there is a kind of an accommodation, that Starmer realises that Andy Burnham could win a seat...

And thinks, well, I'm going to buy myself six months.

I'm going to have a chat.

I'm going to say, give me six months.

Let me stay in the job.

Let me work something out until conference or after conference.

And then, you know, you do you.

Yeah.
