Hello, good evening and welcome. Happy Christmas. Welcome to this special Christmas show where my lovely little Christmas angel, Jackie Smith and I are going to look back at 2020 through the lens of the people

who made an impact on all of us this year. We're calling the show People of 2020 and will be

joined by a host of guests throughout the next hour who will tell us who they think deserves the

title of LBC Person of the Year. Well, joining us will be impressionist Rory Bremner, the man who

used to be foreign secretary and actually introduced Jackie and me all those years ago to each other.

David Miliband, he'll be playing Gooseberry a little later.

We have former Conservative star, Anne Whittaker.

Actually, she's a current conservative star, isn't she?

And the man who wants to be the next prime minister of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty's

leader of the opposition, Sarkia Stama.

But first, let me introduce my woman of the year.

It's my partner in crime from our For the Many podcast, and in case you didn't know,

she used to be Home Secretary, Jackie Smith.

Hello.

Hello, Ian.

What more could I have wanted as a Christmas present than to be back with you in the flesh today?

Indeed, but less of the flesh. Now, what's Christmas like in the Smith household normally?

It is full of family, sisters, mum. It's full of food. The odd drink is taken.

The odd drink, yeah.

I know you.

What did I call you on Good Morning Britain the other week?

An old lush.
