Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

Good evening, Simon.

And here we are in the run-up to May the 5th.

And I guess some folk might have been tuning in to

see another hustings this evening but unfortunately logistics got the better of us and

you know our loyal listeners are saddled with just thee and me this evening yeah they are indeed

despite our best attempts unfortunately we couldn't schedule a hustings for this evening and indeed our valiant efforts where we thought we'd actually been able to schedule an E&C hustings for the 29th. That fell on its backside within 24 hours of us announcing the date.

So scheduling snafus aside, that's why we're taking a slight detour.

On the day, ironically, the one country's leader asks his country whether they will support him or not,

or whether they have any future.

Just one over the channel.

We're here to kind of discuss perhaps a little bit of our leaders future.

More the process than the, is he guilty or not?

Because I think probably anybody that's got an opinion on this has already made it,

one way or the other.

And yeah, but just to clarify it, so we do have two hustings still to come.

On the 26th, we have the hustings in Baffins.

Baffins.

Yep, good old Baffins.

So we've got the hustings there.
