Sir Keir Starmer may be feeling more hopeful of joining those on the walls after his party's by-election win overnight.
In the No. 10 Bar of Blackpool's iconic Imperial Hotel in this once-famous party conference town, there are photos of prime ministers going back decades and mirrors with their names inscribed in the glass.
And Blackpool South, while the Tory majority of just 3,690 was a modest hurdle to overcome compared with some of the massive 20,000+ majorities Labour has overturned in recent by-elections, is a significant step on Sir Keir's journey to Number 10. There will be massive relief in the Labour Party's high command that the campaign in this by-election was ruthlessly efficient and there were no slip-ups.
