Hello and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast. Blue and Yellow till we die. I'm Ian Tiny Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

And well, what a week we've had. We're back behind the microphones after our summer recess.

Is it only a week?

A week?

Well, it feels like a lot longer than a week.

There's been a lot going on.

And we're probably going to have to timestamp this one

because in the wacky world we exist in at the moment,

it is Sunday evening.

We are trying to unpick the shenanogonery that's occurred over the last week,

including exciting developments in the Portsmouth Guild Hall Square, which we'll touch on later, and obviously the big issues nationally.

Yes, so we are recording at 7 o'clock on Sunday evening.

Yeah, we probably need to be that specific.

Yeah, so 8th of September, 7pm, this is where we're at.

This is how many defections to the Lib Dems there are at this point.

Oh.

We can just classify that as too many.

Wow.

Come on in, guys. The water's lovely.

There's three.

Indeed, so.
