| 0:00.0 | Now, maybe try and engage with the jibbering nonsense that comes out of Alan Shuggler's mouth |
| 0:05.4 | is on a hiding to nothing. I'm going to try engaging with the latest |
| 0:11.2 | Alan Musripe nonsense to come out of Lord Alan Shuggler's head. So his first stupid tweet was |
| 0:18.8 | it's supposed to be good about it, but I mean they really are stupid tweets. Michael Lynch loves |
| 0:22.8 | the cameras. He got stitched up by JNB today. Next thing he is he will be doing strictly or appearing |
| 0:28.6 | on Graeme Norton. Anyone knows how much he's paid. That's |
| 0:32.9 | here. My cat attacking the camera. I hope he does do Graeme Norton actually. That'd be quite a good |

| 1:46.5 | because they want to face down unions. They want to crush trade unions. They want to be |
| 1:51.4 | thatcherism marked too. That's what's going on here. Just so absolutely clear. But let's engage |
