what people feel, not just in Makerfield.

I think it stands for everywhere, towns and cities at the moment.

But when we went out initially, we weren't really seeing that the comments were cutting through.

But we have in the last week seen that they're really cutting through.

And quite a lot of women have been saying to us,

well, actually, I might go Restore instead or I might go Burnham instead because I just don't like his views on women.

So I think that has cut through in a way that we weren't seeing at first, really.

Yeah, it's not a full poll.

But I suppose the other thing that gets brought up a lot is a remark he's made about

or any interaction he's had relating to abortion.

And we've had that offered to us maybe six, seven times in the last week as something that has concerned various people.

And we weren't seeing at the beginning, of course, huge number of pro-reform people, and it really isn't bothering them too much.

And then on the other side, you've got the pro-Andy Burnham lot who are, you know,

wouldn't you know think it's absolutely appalling um and but then there is this group in the middle and so we are seeing some impact um and the one other thing i wanted to mention was that this the other thing we were actually discussing this in conference this morning is the um the language of building sites so we interviewed kenyon last week and had a similar sort of

conversation um in that he kind of said well it's the language of building sites it's it's you know how the working man talks and i just wonder how disrespectful that is to people who work on building sites or the working class because certainly from my conference you know the conversation we're having this morning is you know maybe that is not

You know, it's not a fair thing to say, perhaps.

So there's that view as well, really.

So the shtick is I'm normal.

I'm not politically trained.

That's my thing.
