0:00.0 | Hello, this is the Red Box Podcast. I'm Matt Jolie and we've got to for for for Friday. |
0:10.0 | Coming up on today's episode of the podcast, listeners with long memories might actually |
0:15.2 | remember way back in December. We had a conversation with Finkelvich Daniel Finkelstein and David |
0:20.2 | O'One of it, you can hear them on Tuesdays, about the influence of David Davis on British |
0:24.8 | politics. We discussed whether there was even a doctoral thesis in the influence of David |
0:29.9 | Davis on British politics. Well, it's taken us a while, but this weekend marks 35 years since |

1:42.8 | Lecter at the beginning. We learned from Dominic Rab, the key cabinet line to take. I think |
1:47.7 | we draw a line in the sand after this vote. But is that sand on a beach? And if he's at |
