Summary

Iain and Jacqui chew over the Windrush children scandal and Jacqui give the insight only a former Home Secretary can. They discuss Iain’s appearance on Question Time, which apparently impressed Jacqui’s mates, they talk about Kim Jong Un’s nuclear announcement and ask if there could be imminent cabinet resignations over anti-terror laws or the customs union. And do listen to the end to hear a big announcement. Are they getting married? Having a baby? Well no, but… well, you’ll just have to listen.

So Ian, of course, if we weren't recording the podcast this Sunday morning, we would be out, wouldn't we?

0:08.9

Halfway through the marathon, probably in a fancy dress.

0:12.7

I see us in a perhaps a horse or something like that, front and back of a horse.

0:18.9

Who's the front?

0:21.8

Well, we've got another year to work out.

0:24.5

It takes them 45 minutes to get through the start line. And I'm thinking to myself,

0:41.4

with the exception of my 110k, 45 minutes is as long as I've ever run anyway. And I wouldn't

even have started by the time. But anyway, we can...

0:49.9

It takes me 45 minutes to do a 5K. Anyway, I don't think anybody wants to hear about our running, do they?

0:57.1

So let me tell everybody what we've got coming up.

1:00.1

We're going to be talking about the Windrush Children's scandal, Kim Jong-un, lots of developments

House of Lords. Did you know that I've been on question time? You never mentioned it.

1:19.4

Right, let's start about Windrush. Apparently it's all your fault, Jackie. It all happened when you were

1:23.0

Home Secretary. I loved that you texted me on Wednesday, Ian, to say, I've just heard you might be

1:30.4

completely responsible for Windrush. Is that true? I did live in hope. Yeah, yeah. The answer,
