Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

In fact, it is good morning, which just goes to prove that we pre-record that little bit to make sure that we get it right all the time.

Welcome to the Pompey Politics podcast. For those of you listening live, it's 10 o'clock on Sunday morning.

We decided, frankly, Koonsberg has had it all to herself for far too long, and we thought we'd try the morning slot. If you're listening to the delayed

semi-live version, it's 627. If Simon's remembered to push the buttons at the right time,

and if you're listening on podcast, well done. Give us five stars rate and review. So here we are, Sunday morning,

a bleary-eyed Simon. Who have we got this morning, Simon? So this morning, as we go head-to-head

with Peter Finley on Pollard. So this morning, we are joined by Councillor Dan Weems

from Hillsy Ward. Welcome, Dan.

Welcome, thank you for having me on and apologies for getting you guys up early on a Sunday.

That's okay, that's okay. We're normally shouting at a television at this time in the morning anyway, so it's hopefully not too bad and we don't look too bleary-eyed.

But it's worth trying to see whether we can find our audience in the morning for a change.

We'll see.

But so we're here to talk about Matters Healsy with Dan.

And then once we've kind of gone through those items,

we're also going to have a bit of a preview in Tuesday's full council

meeting, which is looking at the Portsmouth City Council's budget. So you can imagine that's

going to be as exciting as that can possibly be, but we'll have a chat about that later on.

Well, we'll try and bring as much energy as we can to a potential 11-hour fist fight,

but yeah, we'll see what we can do with it.
