| 0:00.0 | Us kids are mesmerised by the mundane, entranced by the everyday, |
| 0:05.0 | where a grown-up see a snail and we see a slippery-shelled beast from the undergrowth. |
| 0:11.0 | But around one in five young children have a sight condition that can get in the way of all that wonder. |
| 0:17.0 | The good news is if these are found early, they can be managed or corrected. |
| 0:21.6 | So book your child in I-test at Spec-Sabbers today. |

| 0:30.0 | Good morning. It is three minutes after 10 and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC. |
| 0:36.1 | It's Wednesday. So P&Q's is on the way, which will be a large |
| 0:38.9 | part of the reason why Rishi Sunak has tried to get it out there, if the telegraph are correct, and I've |

| 1:24.2 | issues, so that she can cultivate a my miasma of martyrdom from the backbenchers |
| 1:30.5 | in expectation of defeat at the next general election and then launch a leadership bid. |
| 1:35.2 | If I doubted it a few years ago through naivety and misplaced idealism, I no longer doubted at all |
| 1:41.9 | that these people live 24 hours a day, seven days a week in pursuit entirely of personal ambition. |
| 1:49.1 | They cannot one jot about the country. It's quite incredible. It's not true of all Tories historically. |
