This episode of Red Box is brought to you in association with SSE,

a leading clean energy champion, accelerating the transition to net zero.

SSE is investing over £9 million a day in cleaner, more secure, homegrown energy.

That includes transforming networks across the country to connect renewable energy,

households and businesses to a greener grid, pioneering low carbon flexible technologies,

such as carbon capture and storage, and building the world's largest offshore wind farm,

a doggar bank off the coast of Yorkshire. When complete, doggar bank will be capable of

powering over £6 million a year with clean, renewable energy, a major step towards the UK

achieving net zero carbon emissions. And all this is creating thousands of sustainable green jobs

in communities right across the UK. Find out more about what SSE are doing at SSE.com slash change.

Hello, this is the Red Box podcast. I'm Matt Shirley. Now, what are you doing on Saturday night?

I don't know if you're free. Boris Johnson might invite you to dinner. He's organising a dinner at

checkers to mark 100 years of it being the official country retreat of Prime Ministers.

Quite a lot of people aren't going. Tony Blair's not going. Gordon Brown's not going. John Major's not

going. David Cameron's not going. In fact, it may well just be Boris Johnson and Theresa May,

and as we know, they get on like a house on fire. But, despite all of that, we are using the

opportunity to do the history of checkers. Everything you needed to know about the Prime Ministers' retreat,

how it ended up being their grace and favour home, what it's like to stay there, what it's

like to see a ghost there, and we speak to the DJ who got David Cameron raving when he organized

a rave for Sam Camder. That's all that's coming up in our big thing just to vote. But first,

as ever, it's our columnist panel, and it's Tuesday, so it must be Finkelvitch.
