"I still think that they are doing good stuff, but sadly they are not doing it so the public can see."
"This is Norwich, so it is a different location... what does [Burnham] know about the environment here and what people want?"
"I do not really know Clive Lewis, but I do know Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham, and a swap of those two would be good,"
"A hypothetical question was put to me, and my answer was consistent with what I've been saying, that I am serious about putting country before party,"
Clive Lewis said he would be willing to step down from Norwich South to allow Andy Burnham to return to the House of Commons and challenge for the Labour leadership, later describing the reply as hypothetical and saying he has no plans to stand down. Andy Burnham refused to rule out a leadership bid while insisting he remained focused on his mayoral role. Constituents expressed mixed reactions: some urged Lewis to keep his seat, others welcomed a leadership challenge or preferred Burnham, and some questioned Burnham's local knowledge despite acknowledging his track record. Lewis has served as MP for 10 years and increased his majority to over 13,000 last year.
