After Miliband, Andy Burnham's turn to carry PoliticsJOE

A second Labour speech in two days took off, this one framed as a question about whether the Greater Manchester figure just changed the country.

Did Andy Burnham Just Change Britain? | Labour Conference speech

PoliticsJOE posted "Did Andy Burnham Just Change Britain? | Labour Conference speech" on Tuesday, and within thirteen hours it had passed 130,000 views. At that pace its first day works out to about twenty-two times what a new upload on the channel usually gathers.

The timing makes it stand out more. The channel as a whole was running a little below its normal daily pace, so this one video pulled far ahead of everything around it. It also has a lot of people talking: the comments come to about half as many as the likes, which is a lot of discussion for a speech video.

The day before, a speech by Ed Miliband on Palestine was the channel's big mover. Now another Labour figure has the spotlight. Burnham was elected Mayor of Greater Manchester in 2017, after years as a Labour MP and cabinet minister, and he ran twice for the party's leadership. The title poses its big question without answering it, and the size of the audience shows how many people wanted to hear the speech for themselves.
