Summary

After a quick catch-up on the face-mask, I welcome the brilliant Iain Dale. This is such a great politics chat: from big tent ideas, political gossip and up to the minute analysis. This episode is longer than usual, partly because I didn't want to lose anything.

I mean, I always have to date stamp stuff at a moment. What are we on? July the 6th, the 6th of July, and we're going to be able to burn our masks like suffragettes,
0:57.5	burning their bras, we're going to be out of go clubbing, you know, take 30 people into a pub
