It never stops, does it?

In our Sunday read this weekend.

Oh, is there a plug?

Here we go.

We'll be covering the local elections in lots of details, lots of interviews with local councillors across the country.

So yeah, Sunday Read, worth looking at our newsletter if you want more details, really detailed interviews with local councillors.

So to receive it, sign up to our free newsletter through the link in the bio.

But Mark's got a question.

On the doorsteps, Labour canvassers reportedly encounter a visceral dislike of Keir Starmer.

Yeah.

Do these reports concur with what you're hearing?

If so, does this mean Kira's got a… It's interesting, visceral dislike.

I mean, I find him like a sort of slightly disappointing kind of accountant, but not someone I'd get visceral dislike on.

Yeah.

What do they hate him for?

Okay, so that's one story, which is that he's inconsistent.

He says one thing, does another.

And if you were to talk to the guys in the stands who are chanting, let's say you were talking, I don't know, let's say a 35-year-old guy in Burnley who told you they hated Keir Starmer, what might they say about why they hated him?

Tell us a bit about Burnley, though.

Sorry, I keep pushing on this.
