Hello and welcome to episode one hundred and forty of what most people think and know

you're thinking just choose them, what's it doing up, you can print it, you can throw

me, we already had a bank holiday, I don't know what's going on, well it's a day early

because the local elections are this week, you know the local elections, the carabal cup

of politics, but they do feel a bit bigger this year and as you can already hear that

familiar laugh in the background, somebody who knows the importance of these elections,

I've got a special guest, they're brilliant Ian Dale, Ian, welcome back to the show.

Thanks for having me.

Well look, I needed to bring in an absolute political heavyweight, frankly I'm surprised

that you even agreed to do it, but I'm good, I'm desperate for the publicity Jeff.

May you are absolutely crushing it on LBC, as I always say, my Sven Garley has sent

a right common sense, there's not many out there at the moment, but I rely on you for

some level-headed opinions, I was on the road over the weekend Ian, I was in all the

glamour of spots I went to, south end, I'm there on Sunday, what are you doing your show?

No, I'm speaking to south end West Conservatives, just to add a bit of melancholy into the conversation,

if you remember I was supposed to be speaking there the night that their MP David Amos

was murdered, and I said to them the next week, I said I want to do this at some point,

when you've got a new MP I want to do this, so there's part of me that is really not

looking forward to it, because I know it's going to be sort of quite well, a weird occasion

in some ways, but I think my audience will be as big as yours.

I mean, we had a good few turn out in south end, I'd like to apologise to Jeremy who sat

in the front row, and I have to say, if your name's Jeremy, it wasn't that spitting again, was it,
