Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics with me Steve Richards. Thank you for tuning in wherever you are.

And thank you all those who came to a packed live show

at the legendary Rope Tackle Arts Centre in Shoreham,

the day after we got the presidential result, Wednesday.

And the great owner of the R tackle, and she came into my dressing

room or green room or whatever you call it. And she always provides copious wine and says,

Steve, the mood is funereal out there. But anyway, it was a great evening. We didn't just do the United States, although inevitably

we did a lot of that. And then we explored the extraordinary kind of weird state of play domestically.

So thank you all those for attending. There is only one live show left in this epic year of

24. And it's at King's Place on November the 27th.

Tickets on the King's Place website, please do come along because we'll be making sense of this

year of elections, a new Labour government elected first time in 14 years with that landslide

and yet things feel wobbly in some respects.

Not all, but in some respects.

The Trump election, the German government falling.

And of course, we're going to have to look ahead with our unreliable predictions for what is to come.

So we'll have some fun as well, it being the, I call it the festive special the last one

of the year.

It's still in November, but it will be fun, November 27th.

And yeah, like with Anne at the rope tackle, a few glasses of wine to keep us going.

So the mood won't be funereal, but we need to delve deep.

As we do in this podcast, so this is what we're going to do if it's okay with all of you.
