Summary

Ian & Simon welcome Polly & Miranda onto the show, both of whom who've worked helping refugees & unaccompanied minors to help our listeners what's going on behind the headlines in the redtop press. What's the real experience on the ground of those fleeing war torn countries seeking security and safety in the UK? We also have a look at the Bexley & North Shropshire by-elections. Is the win in Bexley comfortable enough to be repeated in North Shropshire? Are there signs of a progressive pact? If you'd like to help refugees & those fleeing persecution & war please consider these organisations: RNLI https://shop.rnli.org/pages/donate Rural Refugee Network https://www.ruralrefugeenetwork.org Red Cross https://www.redcross.org.uk Portsmouth City of Sanctuary https://portsmouth.cityofsanctuary.org Society of St James https://www.facebook.com/SocietyofStJames

Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

0:03.0

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

0:04.7

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

0:13.9

Good afternoon, Simon, and welcome to our 105th show, I think it is now.

0:21.8

It is, a 105th show and our penultimate show of 2021.

0:26.6

Indeed, before we go into our very own Christmas recess

0:30.4

and potentially have massive parties that we shouldn't have, or maybe not. not yeah it's an interesting thing to be able to have a

0:43.1

shrewdigger's party where you can say that you're not sure that the party exists but you're

0:47.4

certain that rules were followed at the party that you're not sure existed but there we go

0:51.2

who am i i i'm not I'm not Dominic Raab.

0:56.0

You are not indeed. I am not indeed. But at least we haven't got Matt Hancock telling us

1:02.7

not to kiss people at Christmas parties. No, no, no, it would be a little unwise. So this

1:08.3

evening's show, Simon, obviously with a lot of news headlines

1:28.8

we'd invite along a couple of experts or people who are highly interested and engaged with

1:34.4

the subject to give us some more frontline insight into the subject.

1:41.0

Indeed, yes. So we've got not one but two experts to talk to us today and to give us some

1:49.0

decent insight, as you say, beyond the headlines, and to tell us actually what their experiences

1:54.6

are and what's happening. So we hope that we might be able to squeeze in some talk about

by-elections.

2:01.7

But let's get in our esteemed guest first, shall we?
