He lives in the neighbouring constituency.

When I see he speaks their language, I don't mean in any way to be offensive.

He knows what the northerners are feeling, and he's just latched on to the fact that there is growing resentment, growing dissatisfaction, perhaps not resentment,

growing dissatisfaction among many of Sir Keir's colleagues, growing dissatisfaction among the voters that they have not delivered.

Look, next month, it will be two years, two years since Keir Starmer came to power.

If you look at the first two years of the Tony Blair government, they tabled bills for devolution.

They've done all sorts of things.

They've moved so many bills forward.

And here, to quote Peter Mandelson, Lord Mandelson, the problem with Keir Starmer, it's advance buckle.

It's advance buckle.

You can easily make the argument there have been so many U-turns, no one quite knows the direction in which he's heading.

Keir Starmer has to say that because he has shown that he has shown he's quite a fighter in the past.

I think in reality, support is slipping away.

I won't say by the hour, but certainly it's going through today to actually get to trigger a leadership challenge.

Andy Burnham needs a certain percentage of the Labour MPs.

He needs 81.

It is being reported on so many different media sites that he's already got 100.

But it is also being reported that they're prepared to give Sir Keir Starmer over the weekend so he can think.

They would much rather have an orderly progression issue, if you will, or almost a coronation rather than a slugfest.

The key date, I think, will come if cabinet ministers do not resign on the weekend.
