He can build on some of the policies that Starmer has already
enacted to give more of a vision to the country of where he wants to take it.
And that surely got to be worth something.
Well, he's talking it up in a big way that, you know, he wants a major, you know, reform agenda, devolution agenda to define his administration.
I think there's something to be said for expanding Downing Street and making it into a bigger delivery unit.
I've just been speaking to officials this week who say, don't underestimate the clout you have across the rest of Whitehall in the public sector.
If you've got a number 10 email address, even, you know, people realise, you know, you are coming from, you know, the prime minister's office, you know, demanding that things get done.
So I think expanding that and basing half of it in Manchester, you know, is a symbolic move.
However, you know, these machinery of government changes always suck up a lot of bandwidth and effort.
At the end of the day, we'll...
having a bigger outpost in Manchester make a difference to the way voters feel about the pound in their pocket?
Will it have a massive impact on economic growth, on NHS waiting lists, on gripping migration, which will all lie in the top three issues that matter to the electorate?
I think that bit remains unclear.
And I think there are also, you know, there's a sense of jeopardy with devolution in terms of accountability and scrutiny and the opportunity for
for greater inefficiencies and waste.
So it's a bit of a double-edged sword, this devolution agenda.
And I think the jury's out on how effective it will be.
I'm sure it will go down well as far as it goes to those voters to whom that's a really crucial matter.
Whether it can win back those who've already switched their votes to the Gaza independence or the Green Party, which has campaigned heavily on a pro-Gaza message.
I think, is less clear.
