But there does become a question that, you know, if there is a leadership contest and it looks like this is too soon for Andy Burnham to participate in it, then, you know...

Anything is possible.

But at the moment, at least, Miliband is making it clear that he personally doesn't want it.

He's done that.

He doesn't really think that he is the right person for it.

And he thinks that Andy Burnham is.

I mean, the interesting question here is whether you see later on today some of those supporters of Burnham

actually coming out and backing Starmer for now because they don't want to participate a leadership challenge now.

Do they try and actually shore up Starmer in order to give time for Andy Burnham to come back for a seat?

I mean, that's certainly one of the possibilities, but I mean, I think if we're all honest, none of us really know.

Yeah, that could be quite a surreal moment.

You know, people have heard these sort of state openings of Parliament before where the King addresses both MPs and peers and he talks about, my government will do this, my government will do that.

I mean, the truth will be, my government may not have a clue what it's doing over the next 12 months.
