So it's... It's a bam.
A wig and kebab, I've been corrected.
Okay, so it's bread around pastry.
Jim, I don't eat meat, but you've got to take a bite in the name of authenticity.
Great.
So let's kick off with discussing what we've heard so far on the campaign trail.
Jen, we've just come up, you know, this week, but you've been covering this ever since the by-election was called.
And obviously, you know the area well from your years reporting around here.
Give us a sense of what you've picked up from voters on the ground.
Yeah.
Well, that's something that I really picked up at a Hustings event hosted by the Manchester Evening News, your old place, Jen, on Wednesday, where Burnham was really trying to walk this tightrope, wasn't he?
In saying that he's a local man, he made clear his children had gone to the college where the event was being hosted.
He made clear that he wouldn't forget where he came from if he got elected and was trying to tailor his messaging both locally to the community here, but also really picking up on themes that have national resonance.
So here's a flavour of how Burnham was really trying to bring that home with the voters on Wednesday.
And then here's Robert Kenyon, the reform candidate, trying to make a similar point that he is the local man who is not trying to, as he would put it, use this constituency as a stepping stone for higher office.
Jim, what have you been picking up since arriving in the sea?
Interestingly, though, Jim, Persis, our producer, and I were at a reform press conference on Wednesday afternoon in which Robert Kenyon, the candidate, was only allowed to speak for just about two minutes before Nigel Farage seized the limelight and spoke for at least half an hour.
And we actually saw a lot of women there supporting reform and interested in reform at this press conference in a car park.
They seemed to be completely unfazed by comments he made online in which he suggested that women can't drive or referee football matches.
I think it was some very vicious comments about abortion, claiming that women use it as a secondary form of birth control so they can sleep around, and also some highly sexualised comments that he endorsed about Carol Vorderman.
