0:00.0	Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.
0:03.0	I'm Ian Tini Morris.
0:04.7	And I'm Simon Sandsbury.
0:10.0	Hello and good evening and welcome to our seventh hustings.
0:17.6	We've just got a slight technical thing there.
0:20.1	We just seem to have lost one of
0:21.2	our candidates. So I'm just going to try and see what's happening, what's happening there. But
0:26.6	welcome, Ian. Welcome Scott. Generally very flumsy, Simon, to have lost one of our candidates.
