0:00.0	Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,
0:05.2	I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to
0:10.4	spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month
0:17.2	of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.
0:23.1	That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get
0:28.1	the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.
0:33.9	Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

1:27.9	Coming up, my colleague and new European journalist, Suna Erden, will be joining us to discuss her recent interview with Caroline Lucas, which happened to occur the same day Liz Truss resigned, and Rishi Sunak's dithering over his decision to go to COP 27.
1:42.0	I'll be discussing another sane week in Westminster as Matt Hancock is heading
1:45.5	to the jungle to join I'm a Celebrity Contestants, not a sentence I thought I'd be saying last week,
1:51.4	and of course, more malignant ministers, bogus backbenchers and poisonous pundits will go into our
1:56.6	Hall of Shame. Before that, if you enjoy what we do with the New European, there really is no
