Cavalvordman is now the leader of his Majesty's opposition. I don't know the rules.

0:05.4

Look, I grew up watching Cavalvordman in the 1990s without trying to make a

0:08.7

thriller old. I think she's eternally youthful. I am a geriatric millennial, of

0:14.0

course, as I say a lot. It's been a real wild ride since the 1990s. All sorts

0:19.1

of things have happened, which frankly have durged on the absolutely surreal.

0:23.8

What do I expected? This admitted mass genius and clearly very bright individual.

affairs. Stand, why he can't cut taxes. Now this is particularly relevant at the

1:17.7

moment, so we have Sue Naks' wife who climbed because you have to actively do

1:22.6

this and non-dom status. You have to apply to HMRC to pay a flat fee of £30,000

a year. Yeah. This is estimated when this was discovered by

1:33.0

German this last year. She said, oh, right, I won't do that again. That she would
