Financial advice from St James's Place sponsors Electoral Dysfunction.

Hello and welcome to Electoral Dysfunction with me, Beth Rigby.

Me Ruth Davidson.

And me, Harriet Harmon.

If you're watching on YouTube, you'll see the three of us together in a different background.

This is the new

shiny, brand new Sky podcast studio. They've built one. Oh, yes. So we are testing it out this

week. And we get to, I think we get to write like a home furnishings report on it after we're

done today and tell them all of the things that we would like different. What we're going to ask

for? More cushions. Jukuzzi. I. Leopard skin. It's fancy. It's got that new car smell. Also, I think they change the light colours.

In my garden studio where I work, I've got cartoons that political cartoonists have done to take the mick out of me over the decades.

And what I've done is I've bought the original from the cartoonist

because some of them are absolutely hilarious. I mean, the way they take the Mick out,

one of them depicts me as a praying har mantis, you know, get it on praying. And I'm eating

the male praying mantis testicles. I mean, it's like utterly hilarious. And so I've got those, all of them. I might bring some in, actually. If anyone was playing electoral dysfunction bingo for a budget special, Harriet Harmon, just impromptu saying the word testicles will not be on the bingo card.

100% not on the bingo card.

Before we get to this big budget special episode, it reminds me that we've got a favour to ask with everyone before Christmas.

We're going to have a special Q&A episode and we're going to do it so that you actually get it on Christmas Day like a little Christmas present. Shall we wear Christmas jumpers? Oh god yeah. I've got a whole collection. Have you? Oh yeah. So the thing about the Christmas Q&A episode is it only works if you send us your questions so that we
