Ed Miliband has been, you know, his allies have been keen to position him.
That might get some pushback, particularly unions.
Which a lot of people in Labour wouldn't agree with necessarily, but it would kind of ire the right-wing press, which you might not want to do.
Wes Streeting, one of the reasons that he's obviously decided not to run is to try and catapult himself into an even bigger job than the one he had in the past.
There's been a lot of talk of, he's basically, again, mainly men, it's mainly the boys.
There's been talk of like a reassuring...
kind of undertaker type like pat mcfadden john healy people like that but we we basically don't know because the burnham camp is very very tight and this is the decision they're going to have to do they're going to have to see who seems like they're on their side and it's it's it's a balancing act you can take risk with some areas and not in others and with every cabinet has to be a cohesive picture and i mean that's going to be the big choice that they need to make it's going to be one of the biggest choices facing burnham in the coming weeks
You don't want to spook people.

I mean, it's worth pointing out that when his voice did break, I could sense this emotion going around all the reporters.
I mean, we're human beings and it was a very human thing.
And his wife, who was standing just off camera, was looking very, very emotional at that time.
In terms of what he does next, he did say he would support the government in any way necessary.
I don't think that means being in an anti-burner cabinet.
We don't get the sense he wants to do that.
I doubt very much he's decided whether he wants to be an MP anymore.
He probably would.
There would be an argument for him standing down in the next general election, not least as the Greens really fancy his seat.
It's a candidate seat and it's a sort of area where they're strong.
