With Starmer's departure now imminent, thoughts are turning to who will replace him. Andy Burnham is the name on many people's lips, but for some in Hurst Green, scepticism remains. "I don't think he's got the right sort of ability to be PM," Spence argued. For Cracknell, that scepticism extends as much to Burnham as it does to the Labour Party in general. He said: "It's hard to see with Labour if it would get any better. I think people are ready for real change. "It would need to be another party to come in and make some real change." And what of the prospect of a general election? Jean Bines said: "I think the country has had enough now for a bit."
