She did have a new lease of life, of course, after joining Strictly Come Dancing, where I think people saw more of a jolly human side of her in the reality TV dancing show.
George, some sense of anxiety, even within Labour, about whether Burnham will be properly tested.
And it springs to mind for me with Theresa May.
It was said one of the failings of her administration was that she hadn't been put through her paces properly in a leadership contest when she got down to the final two and her rival, Andrea Leadsom, dropped out.
People in hindsight thought maybe if there'd been more scrutiny of her policy platform, that would have strengthened her.
Is Andy Burnham going to fall into the same trap?
And Jim, it feels to me there's going to be a period now of soul searching in Westminster where people really try and engage with this question of whether the UK has become ungovernable.
I've really detected a sense of quite a lot of regret, even among some opposition MPs, that we're now about to see our seventh prime minister in 10 years, likely to be our eighth chancellor, our 10th foreign secretary in that time.
It's not good for the future of the country, is it?
I think that's true.
There was a sense he lacked a sort of human element and tended to be quite robotic in front of the cameras.
And beyond the sort of the simple comment about his style, there was this sense he couldn't infuse the country with a message of hope and change in the same way that we've seen Andy Burnham do in Makerfield.
So I think there will be hopes for his successor that there's an ability more to set out a vision and bring the country with him.
No, that's right.
You know, I think it's the UK that's now become a byword for instability in Europe.
And I agree with Ollie that, you know, the sluggish economic growth has been a factor, pretty much a level living standards, no growth there.
Also, perhaps the frenetic pace and environment of social media that means that politicians are
reach saturation point with the public quicker.
And while Keir Starmer has only been prime minister for two years, we shouldn't forget that he led the Labour Party for four years before that.
So six years in charge of Labour might also contribute to the public feeling they've had enough of him.
