And that link is in the description, and you can donate anything you can afford per month.

2:05.8

Aaron, you want to come in? I do. I've been told by our crack fundraising team that, you know, it's not implausible.

2:08.9

It's not implausible that we get 5,000 new supporters.

2:09.4

Incredible.

2:10.5

It's not implausible.

2:13.4

Would you like to be one of those 5,000?

Michael Walker, feeding the 5,000 with his takes, news and current affairs coverage.
