This is a Global Player Original podcast.

Should we start off with a text I've just received?

Go on.

From the future lead of the Labour Party.

Monsieur Stama? Or Monsieur Streating?

Angela Rainer, obviously.

No, it is from Monsieur Streeting. He says, thanks so much for putting me in the Politico's

newsletter this week. Any chance of a plug on the For the Many

podcast. I've got books to sell, you know. Are you coming along tonight since you're not yet

back at work? Good luck next week. I think he's talking about his book launched, which I don't

recall getting an invite to. Oh, I did and I can't go.

Well, I could go because I'm going to be in London this afternoon,

so I could extend my London visit,

but, well, I haven't had an invite worse.

Yeah, but he won't have listened to this by the time it's tonight,

so you're just going to have to gate crash.

Well, I have texted him to say

don't think i've had an invite and just left it at that in a sort of mildly hurt way he's doing lots of

publicity this week isn't he he he is now can you remember what his book is called it's called a boy

two men is it a boy two men and a fry-up. And I even know what each of those bits relate to now.

Well, thank goodness you do, because there'll be lots of speculation about that if you're not careful.

Well, he's the boy, the two men are his grandfathers and the fry-up.
