Hello and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

Blue and Yellow Till We Die.

I'm Simon Sandsbury and I'm Ian Tiny Morris.

You've not heard of us before or you've at least not heard of the podcast before, but you may have heard of us before.

Yeah, I think it would be fair to say that on the local politics boards,

one of us is perhaps more infamous than the other, but both are very active in our nature.

Indeed.

So without further ado, if you've seen us around on the Portsmouth Politics and Portsmouth Progressive Politics, Facebook pages, or indeed in any other forums, discussion mediums, etc, etc, Twitter, yard yardy. I don't think either of us does. I don't do Instagram. Do you? No, no, not for you.

No, Instagram's not for, no. So anyway, so if you've seen this around, this is us,

we thought we'd do a podcast to talk about politics, because what you might have gathered

from seeing us interact on those spaces is that sometimes we disagree. Yes, in terms of our Fair

City famous for its blue and yellow crest, it would be fair to say that I sit firmly in the

blue. Yes, and I sit firmly in the yellow corner. It's not really a corner though because

it's like in a middle. Yeah, no there are no corners we we perhaps should

have a labour representative joining us um we haven't so for balance on the dogmatic nature my guide

dog milsy will be giving any input today from the labour perspective but we're mostly going to focus

on the blue and the yellow excellent and if you hear any hear any kind of odd growling noises in the background,

that's because Ian's assistant's dog, Milsie, is obviously here with Ian.

And my cats, Midnight and Twilight, are not necessarily happy about that.

Which is a wonderful metaphor for the current political situation, where both the cats and the dogs are occupying the same space.

Not entirely happy with anything, but so far there's been no biting or gouging or anything untoward.

So let's hope that continues for the rest of the podcast.
