Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European dotco.uk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. Hello, I'm Matt Kelly. I'm Matt Dan Cona. And this is the two mats for the weekending

Friday the 31st of May, where we all have hay fever. We all have hay fever. Why have you got

hay fever, Matt? Because I've just got back from the Hayleybury Festival. It was groovy. You did really, you did an amazing interview with

Michael Heseltine. I did what I interviewed Michael Heseltine and Sebco and we talked about

Trump and I did my Trump impression which is getting I'm worried about but

because I shouldn't be encouraged but I had a great time.

And you can read all about it in the new European coming soon, aren't you? Yes, you certainly because I shouldn't be encouraged, but I had a great time. Brilliant.

And you can read all about it in the New European coming soon, aren't you?

Yes, you certainly can.

But what have we got on this week?

Well, this week we're wondering why Kirstama has mishandled the Diane Abbott fiasco as badly as he has,

and asking some questions about that.
