| 0:16.8 | Hello and welcome to Copy How Shot, spectators daily politics podcast. I'm James Hill and I'm |
| 0:21.8 | joined today by Katie Bulls and Fraser Nelson. The main topic of discussion today in Westminster |
| 0:26.7 | is allegations against Suella Brahman who's under attack from opposition parties about her use |
