| 0:00.0 | Welcome everybody to Crystal Kyle and Friends. Today we're going to be talking to Owen Jones, |
| 0:11.1 | who is, I'd say a wee bit of an expert on UK politics. Indeed, he's a guardian columnist |
| 0:16.7 | and host of the Owen Jones show on YouTube and has really been helping me understand |
| 0:23.3 | what exactly is going on there. As we're filming this today, let's trust the Prime Minister |
| 0:27.8 | has resigned after just six weeks. Seven minutes. She's been Prime Minister for seven minutes. |
| 0:33.5 | There was literally someone wrote a column that was like, I had a lettuce the last longer |
| 0:36.6 | than loose truss. And it did. And it did. Yeah. I think I had a lettuce like put a wig on it |
| 0:40.8 | and the lettuce is still around. My loose truss is not. I'd love to know the specifics. Like, |

| 1:25.1 | robber barring markets, that's your Reagan yay stuff she was she was going with and did not work |
| 1:31.8 | out well. Total robber barring shit. And then it's like, gee, I wonder why I have a fucking 10% |
| 1:36.4 | approval rating. Literally. Yeah. Well, maybe because of that. Right. As regular people are |
| 1:41.2 | struggling, you're like, what if bankers got bigger bonuses? So something else that |
| 1:45.2 | Owen has done that I've really enjoyed is he just went to the like this conservative party, |
| 1:50.4 | like conference or meetup or whatever. And he would just interview the MPs that he could get |
| 1:55.8 | a hold of that we're willing to talk to him. And just ask them really basic questions. And then |
