Page 94, the Private Eye podcast. Hello and welcome to another episode of page 94. My name's

Andrew Hunter Murray and I'm here in the Private Eye Office with Helen Lewis, Adam McQueen and Ian Hyslop.

Later on in the show, we're going to be talking to Tim Minogue, the eyes, I think we can say

veteran Rottenborough's correspondent about a lifetime spent looking at dodgy local government up

and down and across the UK. But for now,

we're going to be talking a little bit about the media, as we so often do, and in particular

about how the press has gone a bit bananas over America and don't quite know what to do now that

the only thing you can talk about is America all day, every day. And there are lots of other things happening, but there is quite a lot of news about the fact that it's Liberation Week, or is it Liberation Week 2?

Is there a tariff on bananas?

I'm worried by this intro.

So, Adam, you, I'm afraid, have to read a lot of the telegraph.

I do.

I do.

I mean, the really like to read.

The funniest thing is it's actually one of these few things where the press are pretty much united on this one because there's not much to say other than, whoa.

Blimey.

And God knows well will be by the time this actually goes out in terms of footsy indexes and

things.

But there's a couple of columnists who've had a valiant go. Simon Jenkins tried to do one of his slightly contrarian pieces where he said,

well, actually, you know, this might be marvellous, but didn't sound entirely convinced by it.

Well, Nick Timothy, who happens among other things to be a freshish conservative MP,

he's a telegraph correspondent.
