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 homes 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

Hello, welcome and thank you for downloading the Red Box Politics podcast, very best of

Matt Chawley's Times Radio Show, although Matt is off this week, so you've got me, Luke Jones

instead. We've got a great interview coming up with Alan Duncan, former Conservative MP, former

minister, his diaries are out next week. And if you've been following some of the serialisations,

he's not been too kind about many of his colleagues, lots of words which we can't say even on an

unruly podcast like this. So I'll ask him about that. And also the years 2016 to 2019, which he

writes about, because a lot happened then, you forget. So Alan Duncan coming up, but first,

our columnists, which are India night and James Merritt. And I start to ask them in the spirit of

diaries to give us their favourites, starting with India.
