0:00.0	Okay, folks, thank you very much indeed for joining me. I'm the Porkmeister. This is life on planet Porky. And of course, at the other end of this line in our virtual studios, Miss Leslie Ann Jones. Good morning, Miss Jones.
0:35.4	Good morning, Mr. Parry. How are we today? Pretty good indeed. Thank you. Pretty good.
0:40.1	You know, a pretty active weekend and all that. But I think I've had an active weekend. I think the
0:46.6	bloke who's going to be most active for the rest of this week and probably the rest of his life is old Boris Johnson.
0:52.1	Because I think the I think the vultures are circling or the woods
0:57.5	or burning or something but to me he looks like a man who's been flawed the opinion polls are
1:03.1	now going against him he's facing a backbench rebellion because half of parliament thinks that

1:51.7	Yeah.
1:52.7	Look, she's just been on holiday with her girlfriends and their little baby Wilfred, Lake Como in Italy, and much was made of that.
2:01.5	You know, how dare she go on holiday when the country is collapsing?
2:05.2	I mean, people go on holiday, right?
2:08.5	She has a right to go.
2:10.4	She's not running the country.
2:12.6	He is.
2:13.2	Well, just imagine if he'd gone with her, you know, everybody's...
