[00:00:00]This is kind of seen as Andy Burnham is the most popular politician who could be the leader. If he wins here, he'll take over. And I think that people in Ashton-under-Lyne make for that's a nice thought that your MP would be Prime Minister. You can only think that your area will receive more attention than it ever has done if that happens. And that people were saying that, weren't they?

[00:00:19]The people were going, "Oh, he's just using us to get his stepping stone into Parliament." But a lady was also saying, "Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing because the person that represents you, I mean, in theory is going to be the one leading the country. So, you know, in the north northwest in general, like it's a feeling that maybe everyone should be getting behind this because you know, it's not every day that someone from the northwest and or Manchester in particular has led the country.
