Hello, just before we get started, just a public service announcement from British scandal HQ.

I don't know if you've noticed, but British politics is a binfire at the moment, and I'll be honest,

we can't keep up with the minute-by-minute earthquakes happening in government.

So please forgive us if we sound like we recorded this before Liz Trust got the boot, because we kind of did.

Just a warning before we begin this episode, it does contain strong language, Alice.

I might not have heard some of these words before.

I think I've heard you use all of them.

Okay, Alice, so we've done something a little bit different in the way that we've chosen the story for this series.

Can you guess what it is?

Oh, okay. So usually we'd pick something that's really exciting, that we find engaging, that's maybe kind of revelatory in some way.

What have you done this time?

Well, you might be forgiven for thinking we've done something ultra-topical, which we kind of have by chance.

But really, I've just been on to management about whether I can just tell stories that involve the impressions that I can do.

You big three.

My big three. So it was either going to be,

Keir Starmer talking about the government, how they've been investigated by the Metropolitan Police.

I mean, I would have loved that.

Well, it was going to be about Tony Blair, frankly. And although he needs the changes that were brought in at the time, but the effect of their legacy, now...

It was only a matter of time.

Or it was going to be about Donald Trump and now you're part of the fake news media. You are a bad dude.

But none of those made the cut?
