Welcome to Not Another One. My name is Tim Montgomery and I'm joined in the studio today by Miranda Green. Hello Miranda.

Hello Tim and hello listeners. And are you coping with the heat?

Well, I actually do, I am a summer person, but this is a bit, a bit much even for me, I have to admit.

But I'm trying to put a brave face on it since I'm always complaining when it's cold.

At least you're not in Madrid. Do you know in Madrid it's 45 degrees Celsius? That's not funny, is it? That's punished. I actually don't mind any of it except for the central line, which is just a joke. It's like being inside a tandoor. You know, you might as well be an actual narn bread slapped to the side of the carriage. Then we could eat you. Was that wrong to say that?

No, I think that's right.

But I would like to recommend those,

I'm keeping my 91-year-old mum cool, which is the main thing.

Those little tiny, personalized AC units that you can buy in like boots and super drugging places,

they actually quite work if you point them at an elderly person.

It's quite good. I must do that for myself. Yeah, no, no. I recommend it. It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't call the whole room, but he calls the person. He calls the person. Yeah. Well, that other voice you hear in the studio with me, back from Sweden. Yeah. Is Ian, we lost you at the end of the last podcast. You kind of disappeared. You did warn us that you were going to meet someone for drinking. I'm sorry, there was outrageous. You went off literally to have a grony with somebody else. That is true. That's actually, I plead guilty. But I did say I had to go after. I had a half stop at half an hour, but then when I listened back, you know, to the edit before it went out, there was, you all say, where has he gone? It was tragic. We're all going, Ian? I was in the bar downstairs in the hotel. I've told everyone you stormed out. Just get a bit of drama going. And that, of course, is the voice of Steve Richards.

Hello, North London.

Are you in North London, actually?

I'm not in North London.

No.

Between meetings in an air-conditioned room, but I'm sorry I can't be in the studio.

Well, we miss you.

And normally when you're not in the studio, it's one of the days we have cake or ice cream or champagne. But actually, today we are just on our own, but we're all

enjoying the aircon. It's extraordinary. Well, today we're going to talk about the first year

of labour.

And we may run into our second weekend edition, depending on how we get on.

But folks, it's been a year since the general election.
