Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the weekly podcast with me, Steve Richards. Thanks so much indeed for tuning in.

This podcast is going to be a little different, mainly focusing on your questions, because on Monday night, I'm streaming the show live from the King's Place website, as I'm sure you all know by now, at 7 o'clock.

Get your tickets if you haven't yet.

Some of the things we'll be discussing. The government's reset, so-called, with special reference to Priti Patel, the Pritster, as Boris Johnson calls her. I think there's so much just in the

use of that name that we need to

explore tomorrow night. There's, oh, blimey, there's Brexit stuff looming, there's Scotland,

and I want to look at Kirstama as well and his leadership, not least in relation to the Corbyn saga.

Also, there will have been by 7 o'clock tomorrow night, the lockdown latest announcements,

and they too have a very deep political dimension.

This focus on Christmas is so interesting.

Anyway, they will be some of the themes tomorrow night,

plus your unreliable, my unreliable predictions.

At the beginning, I'm going to make you or get you

or ask you politely to make a prediction.

I think I know what it's going to be,

but it's all so fast moving in politics, it could change.

And there will be questions live on the night. So please, please sign up, join in, get a

glass of wine, cup of coffee, and we will have some fun tomorrow. In the meantime, this gives

me the space, because obviously I want to save my reflections for the live show

to get through a few more of your questions on today's podcast. No doubt we will, in doing so,

reflect on some of the themes that will be part of the King's Place stream on Monday night at 7.

But that will be, oh, God, in so much depth, we have so much time to breathe.
