I was astounded, to be perfectly honest.
Last night was a whole series of firsts, leaving aside the Scottish results, which was pretty extraordinary.
What happened here is the first time ever, I think, that the percentage of people voting has increased since the last election.
Also, the party and government has actually increased its vote.
And also the Conservatives, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats were down minuscule.
You had to have a microscope to see their votes.
So what it really is about, firstly...
It's about the personality of Andy Burnham.
There's no getting away from that.
Secondly, it's about the fact that British politics, the old system, no longer applies.
We're almost in a pick and mix situation.
It reminds me of elections I used to go to in Ireland, where people had to vote for number three and number two and number seven.
It's all over the shop.
What it is now is people are tactically voting.
We like it, though.
Oh, yeah, it worked for you.
As ever, we're copying you here.
But look, the main thing is that the Labour Party is now in a completely new place.
There's things in the paper today about Keir Starmer has managed to amass a wall chest to sort of fight off any challenge.
The reality is that the mood in the party and I think the mood in the country is that we do need to reset.
