Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. Hello and welcome to the New European podcast. My name is Richard Porritt. I'm joined again

in the library here in the bowels of New European Towers by Steve Anglesey. Hello.

And Jerry Scott.

Hello.

Later on we're going to pick our Brexiteer of the week, as we always do.

We're also going to take a little bit of a longer look at austerity.

It's one of the big themes in the paper this week.

But we're going to start with the news.

And Steve, we've finally got a deal between the Tories and the DUP. How grubby is it?

Oh it's how it's grubby. Oh it's really grubby. The magic money tree has is in full operation isn't it for the for the DUP and for the people of Northern Ireland I suppose. Let's

let's be generous and say that.

It's exactly the kind of deal that we expected.
