Hello and welcome to not another one, the podcast with me, Steve Richards, Ian Martin, Tim Montgomery, Miranda Green.

Thank you so much for tuning in. Now, we're going to try and explore two big themes. If we have

time, let's see. One, we're going to look at the assisted dying bill. The vote is coming up.

And if we have time to talk about the economy, which could take up the whole podcast, but it's not going to. But

let's see how we get on. But before all of that, we were live in Glasgow last week. Our first live

gig, Miranda, your take on it? My take is basically that the West End of Glasgow has got to be

one of the most beautiful places in Europe. I mean I just walked around

It was incredible sunshine not like we went we chose the right week to go. I guess

Yeah, it's got cold since but yeah lovely audience really interesting to find out mainly mainly not

mainly

Apart from the there was there was one guy who took great exception to support him.

Oh dear.

Tim, you were, you were heckled, which, and I was kind of, I was going to look up to see who

the heckler was to make sure he get kicked out.

And I looked up and I recognised it because he's one of the, my followers in what I call the rock and roll politics

cooperative. And he, he kind of, yeah, heckled you, didn't they? We just sort of broke the spell

briefly before everything returned to a kind of elevated adoration of us. Well, at least it showed

that we were genuinely live. It wasn't a confection. And, of course, he did harangue all of us after. Well, I think Rand's got away lightly, but he harangued all of us over the drinks as well. And, you know, to be honest, he was a very sincere, serious person and clearly cares an awful lot about his issue.

And he feels very frustrated that politics isn't doing what he wants.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, he's incredibly well-informed.

I mean, he's been emailing me speaking to me about it for many years.
