Hello and welcome to another episode of Page 94.

My name is Andrew Hunter Murray and I'm here in the Private Eye Office with Helen Lewis,

Matt Muir and Ian Hislop.

We are here to discuss the news not only of the last week since the last edition of the magazine came out,

but also the near future as well, because there's a lot of exciting stuff about to happen.

We're all back to school, back to term. So we're starting with a big speech made

by Kieer Stama last week and I've just got a quiz for the room to kick us off. Which of these

was not something that Starma said on the day?

We're in not just an economic black hole, but a societal black hole.

There will be short-term pain for the long-term good. It's all going to be fine really soon which

of those was not a genuine quote pretty sure it was the last one yeah was

the whole tone of the speech was beatings will continue until the run improves.

Yeah.

And I should point out we're back at school because if we're not we're going to be fine.

So I'm very glad to see you all in attendance,

part from McQueen, who I hope will be paying the penalty.

He's been having a holiday outside of term time

when we should make him pay 200 pounds for it, yeah.

Yes, at least. Yes yes things are worse than we ever

imagined I've slipped into quoting again but this is the new the new dominant note

of the government certainly in the short term at least is things are really awful
