| 0:00.0 | The The Oh, Welcome to yet another thrilling edition of the Thought Police and we talked at last the last edition Matt about how I |
| 0:56.6 | think now that Boris Johnson has really got a bit between his teeth and he's |
| 0:59.9 | definitely heading for a legacy of one kind or another on October 31st. |
| 1:04.1 | They could still come up with a deal. |
