So he's doing well.
They're really important.
They're really important.
And so that for a few reasons, one, you've just got a lot of people who will be interested because of the novelty about what you're going to do.
So people will be falling over themselves to offer you interview space and time.
But also people will be paying attention when you make that first speech.
That's a big kind of cut-through moment.
And those cut-through moments in the modern media, politicians really prize.
They're a huge asset.
So that's really important because you've got a lot of attention.
It's also kind of important because you need to limit your missteps.
You're introducing yourself to the country again.
Andy Byrne has been a cabinet minister, but quite a long time ago now, and people very reasonably have short political memories.
So if you think of him as a politician at all, as you said, you'll think of him as the mayor of Greater Manchester.
He's coming onto a new stage now and doing a load of new things that he won't have done before.
So limiting your mistakes is also important, partly because...
You're at the moment where you've got the greatest amount of power that you're probably ever going to have as Prime Minister, but you've also got the least amount of experience.
And that's true of everyone around you, too.
So the 25 or so special advisers that will be part of Andy's team in Number 10.
They haven't gone, I suppose, the extra emphasis that, with all due respect of being mayor of Greater Manchester, which is a very important job, he will just be a lot more time poor now.
