Exactly that.
And in many ways, you know,
He kind of, again, not being reductive, embodies the seat as well in lots of ways.
You know, the reformers become the party of that squeezed middle of tradespeople, you know, the self-employed.
You know, a lot of reform support comes from non-graduates, people, you know, pursued more vocational work.
And, you know, I think there is a lot of appeal of that type of person for lots of people.

And similarly for him, I think it will stand him in good stead.
Luke was just doing air quotes there, just to reflect that.
Just normal person air quotes.
Whereas, yeah, you know, Andy Burnham...
has his record of mayor to run on, but he also has been involved in politics for a long time.
It is difficult for him to say that he is an outsider, even though he has been outside of Westminster, he's been mayor, you know, he was a cabinet minister.
And you've got this big contrast.
And it's no surprise to me that already Reform and Robert Kenyon are framing it almost as a sort of David and Goliath type battle.
Actually, we know that Brits in general, when it comes to things, quite like the plucky underdog there.
So it's making for just another layer of a really interesting contest.
I think it is so interesting as well that Reform seem to have learned their lesson from Gorton and Denton.
where they selected a much more high-profile candidate in Matt Goodwin, who didn't live in the area at the time, had quite a long track record of some quite inflammatory, some people would say, statements.
