So people who normally vote in general elections don't manage to get to the polls, don't know what's happening or aren't as interested in by-elections.
We spoke to on Wednesday actually a handful of voters who didn't vote in 2024.
but are now going to vote next Thursday for reform.
And I think that's interesting.
It shows to me that there is a level of engagement and enthusiasm that reform have managed to engender, at least in some of their supporters, to get them to come out of the House, which I thought was interesting.
Well, I must say...
All the polling suggests that Andy Burnham is going to sweep it next week.
The bookies think Andy Burnham is on track to win.
But I must speak as I find, and I would say that we've driven to every part of the constituency, whether it's Abraham, Hindley, Oral, Ashton, Winstanley.
And to my mind, at least the roads we've been down, we've seen quite a lot more reform placards than we have Labour.
But that's not necessarily, you know, indicative of the result.
But
Let's just hear a very brief montage of a few of the voices we've spoken to on the ground.
Persis and I, I think, have been struck by the number of people who are voting either reform or restore, which has also been quite striking.
Well, interestingly, we spoke to one chap in his 60s who just retired, had run a bakery that had been in his family for three generations.
And he said to us that immigration, illegal immigration is out of control.
Other people we spoke to in Hindley said that they had met the local Restore candidate and she had come across really well.
And we spoke to a woman who said she had voted for reform at the last election, but will be voting for a restore next week after being more convinced of their policies after reading about them online.
thing i just add on on restore as well is you know i did challenge people about whether they viewed restore as far right as extremist and they were pains to say you know i'm not racist i don't believe they're racist it's legal immigration that's got out of control i think that is at odds with their policies which are hardline nativist but it's interesting how they're being read by some of their supporters
Jim, I've also been struck by how much Belfast is playing out here.
