In the meantime, somebody's got to be running the country, supposedly.

Yeah, the first thing he's got to do is get a seat.

And as was mentioned, there's talk of him.

He's obviously a dynamic person in the northwest of England, in the Manchester and Liverpool region.

And he's well known in both of those cities.

And some of those were safe Labour seats, very, very safe.

But you've got to persuade somebody to stand down and give up their career as a politician on your behalf.

And then Keir Starmer is in control because he can say whether, effectively, whether Andy Burnham can stand as a Labour candidate.

And then he's got to go and win it.

And the weird thing would be all of these other candidates would have to say, I support Andy Burnham in this election because he is the official Labour candidate.

And then he's going to try and defeat them in a secondary election.

But the feasibility of that happening

over a period of two or three months is quite remote, I think.

So we'll have to see how that plays out.

Well, Keir Starmer stood on the one-word manifesto, as he called it, change.

And what people aren't feeling is a change or an improvement.

So what isn't happening in these sort of demi-hustings that people are doing now with these briefings to journalists, nobody's setting out the five key things they would do.

What would they actually do about housing?

What would they do about employment?

What would they do about the economy?
