Hello, you're listening to Podlitical, BBC Scotland's Politics Podcast.

It is quarter past two on Wednesday the 25th of October.

I'm Phil Sim, a journalist normally based at the Scottish Parliament, but this week down in London.

And joining me in the studio here is...

Georgia Roberts, BBC Scotland's Westminster correspondent, here with Phil in-person, such a treat.

And as part of the range of interview episodes we've been doing, we are also joined

by the Shadow Scottish Secretary Ian Murray. Nice to see you. Welcome to London. Thank you very

much. I like you're the official meeting greet for the city of London now. Yes, I'm the

tourist board of Greater London. Well, I guess you were for a long time because you were,

whenever somebody came down to see the Scottish Labour Party, it was just you, wasn't it?

I have a friend now.

You've got a wee pal.

I've got a wee pal.

Michael's doing a good job, but it's a lot to let by election candidates I feel really sorry for

because it's a tremendous amount to learn all at once.

The crucial spots, the canteen.

He's found the canteen, she's found the stranger's bar, I hope.

Hasn't bought a drink yet, but he's found where the bar is.
