Welcome to the show Thursday. We're almost at the end of the week. And I'm going to dive straight in because it's been a barren area this show.

| 0:38.8 | nice. We went on the off season, so it was cheaper. It was still wet though, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. There you go. There you go. Oh, it's lovely. So she's been on a romantic trip. I've never been to Venice. I can't believe that. It's brilliant. Did you enjoy it? It's a bit too cultural for me. Did you go to a casino? |
| 0:55.3 | Oh we didn't really do anything cultural. We just dragged. It's brilliant. Did you enjoy it? It's a bit too cultural for me. Did you go to a |

| 1:35.6 | biggest scandal to hit this government that could bring it down. But there have been developments |
| 1:40.1 | overnight. We know about Morgan McSweeney. Morgan McSweeney was the chief of staff for Keir Stama. |
