Hello and welcome to Not Another One, the podcast with me, Steve Richards, Ian Martin, Tim Montgomery and Miranda Green.

Thank you so much for tuning in.

As ever, we've got a lot to reflect on and cram in in our time together. It's kind of the end of August, but things seem to be kicking off. Miranda, you're not in the studio. The rest of us, hurrah, are in the studio. You're having a good, blissful time in Suffolk. Yeah, I'm holding out at the very last moment to go back to the office. And yeah, it's amazing here.

And this is, you know, this is one of the areas that's been true blue all my lifetime. And I'm kind of bobbing about in the sea looking back at the shore and thinking

I cannot believe that this is now well labor territory where I am and just down the road a green

MP it's utterly bizarre yeah even on holiday you can get reminders of the extraordinary change in the

electoral landscape as you swim in the sea.

Totally. And, you know, I was having a long sort of chat to an old friend who lives here last night,

who was also saying, you know, reform also did really well all the way up this bit of the East Coast.

And if things go well for them this could be

fertile territory for them as well

well it sounds if you're working while you're swimming

reflecting on politics always

always always and I'm talking of which

I'm just back from Edinburgh which wasn't quite as

hot as Suffolk as at the moment 14

shows which were great for those

of you who came who are listening to this, thank you very much. Meanwhile, Timony, you just work all the time, don't you, Tim? Even when you told me you were off, you know, having a week drinking Malbec in Salisbury, I saw your pieces to camera on Twitter and things. So you never stop,, do you? Well, I do actually. I slept most of

yesterday, actually. As I've got older, I can actually sleep most of the day if I need to. And so I did

the Sky News Papers thing, which is fun but exhausting. Yeah. Basically, when I've been on television,

something like that, I'm pretty relaxed going on to do it, but I struggle

to go to sleep immediately afterwards. Even if it's late, there's a certain adrenaline bar.
