I folks, welcome back to another one of Dan and I's political chats, which I guess is the

official name for this now.

Today, I wanted to talk about the events of the weekend, because actually they were very

interesting and honestly, kind of embarrassing, on all sides.

I quite often don't check Twitter at the weekend, so I may not have any idea what

you're talking about.

That's good, because I want this to be a surprise.

Okay. Is it a good surprise?

Well, I mean...

That's a no.

Yeah, well, I mean, I...

I don't know if I'd call it a good surprise.

I am not expecting good surprises in British politics, so that's fine.

It is a fun surprise, but also it reveals the sort of profound threads of inauthenticity

that tie together all of British politics that happens in the kind of thunderdome of Westminster

politics, right?

It's all genuinely quite embarrassing and inauthentic.

Now, we're not really going to be talking that much about the Labour Party or the Conservative Party

because of course no one cares about them anymore.

Oh no, when they're irrelevant, they're going to disappear, so yeah.

They are literally both in collapse, as we saw on the polar polls.

They're both on about 17%.
