Are we going back to a time when places like Makerfield or Wigan Council get overlooked?
Yeah, and look, whenever we have run focus groups in Greater Manchester, whether it is in places like Leigh, which you just heard about, or in more leafy Altrincham, or indeed in Gorton and Denton, it is rare not to have people in the focus group who don't have some praise for what he's done as mayor.
Transport in particular, and expect to hear, I think, a lot more about the B network over the coming weeks and what he's done.
Very yellow.
Very yellow.
So you've got that sense he's actually delivered something.
People also talk about development improvements in Manchester city centre itself.
But also there's this wider sense that as mayor, he's almost become a sort of champion, not just of Greater Manchester, but of the north as a whole.
And one of the things which often comes up in focus groups is that moment when during the pandemic, Greater Manchester was put into a new tier.
He looked like he was finding out live on TV, on his phone.
I was furious about it.
And it's kind of created this, you know, sort of almost mythology around him as the champion of the North.
And what was interesting was, you know, just before the election, we were in West Yorkshire.
And people there were saying, we wish we had an Andy Burnham here.
In our part, of course, they do actually.
They do, yeah.
But, you know, there's just this sense that he's got a bit of kind of like oomph about him.
And I think that if he is successful in the by-election, it will be that that carries him over.
The sense that this is someone who is genuinely going to stand up for, you know, greater Manchester, make a field.
the north of England as a whole.
