Typical LBC, acting like a tiny bump in the polls is some kind of revolution. "Burnham bounce"? Give over. One man in Greater Manchester doesn't fix the mess for the rest of us. Whether it's Starmer or anyone else, it's all the same when it comes to the actual cost of living. I'll believe it when I see my bills go down, not when a poll says so.

Spot on with the analogy, Theo. I wonder if this shift reflects a genuine policy pivot or if it's just local momentum that won't translate globally in a broader political climate.

That "Burnham bounce" is like hitting a perfect combo—totally changes the game for Labour. Seeing them climb back into the lead after months of struggling is a wild shift. Do you think this momentum is a permanent power-up or just a temporary glitch in the polls?
