[Malcolm Armsteen]

Don't expect being "King of the North" to play well anywhere outside the North and, if you set yourself in opposition to a particular region (eg London) don't be surprised if that region fails to genuflect in your direction.

You can say that again!

He's more popular than Starmer everywhere, isn't he?

I think he'll do lots of the same policies, but might sell them a bit better. That's not to be sniffed at. And a big difference is that he's not personally got his hands dirty sorting out the left. I don't have a high opinion of lots of the people he did go after, but it probably went too far. Burnham will get an easier time from lots of people because of this.

If he gets in within a year he will be accused of being continuity Starmer.
