Hello and welcome to Not Another One.

Now it is so busy internationally and domestically at the moment that we have all struggled to get together to discuss it.

And I'm joined today by Steve Richards down the line from the glamorous city of York.

Hello, Steve.

Hi, Miranda. Yeah, glamorous.

The sun is...

Very glamorous city of York.

And Ian and I are at other sides of London, but we are still in the Humming Capital, where it's all

go. So, Steve, I'm going to ask you what you've been doing up there in York because it sounds

brilliant. But I think just to tell this, but we think that the international picture is moving.

We're recording this first thing on Wednesday morning. It's moving so fast that actually

we're going to talk about the domestic blowback today.

Yeah.

Which you've been you've been on stage discussing, Steve, I believe.

Well, we didn't really discuss Iran, but it was a great event actually with this series of books on

post-war prime ministers. Alan Johnson has written one on Harold Wilson and I've written one on Tony Blair.

So the event explored three complex prime ministers, Wilson, Blair and Stama.

And I began by saying this is not wholly symmetrical in that Alan Johnson

has written a book on Wilson and was a star in Blair's government. I've written a book on Blair

and wasn't a star in Wilson's government. But I probably would have been quite hard for you to

be fair. Yeah, it would.

Yeah, thank you know, I'm not that old.
