The

The Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me, Steve Richards.

Thanks so much for tuning in, and you know what I'm going to say.

We have got a lot to cram in in our time together. Before I reflect for a bit

and then turn to your fantastic and wide-ranging but urgently topical questions, thanks a lot,

all of you who came to King's Place or who watched on the stream. It was great and I was

brilliant meeting so many people from the

Rock and Roll Politics Cooperative. I in effect launched my new book, Turning Points, Crisis and Change

in Modern Britain from 1945 to Liz Truss at the, well, afterwards signing books after the show. And so many, I recognize the names because

you email or a part of the Rock and Roll Politics Cooperative. And yeah, even got presents from

some, Helen the Baker, fantastic cake this time. And Venetia Kane, thank you so much

for the Beanie's, you know, Venetian Nits for the Rock and Roll Politics Cooperative. Anyway,

it was brilliant. A couple of things to report unusually for these live shows. I always ask the audience to make a prediction at the beginning.

And quite often the audience for the live stream produces a different verdict to the live audience,

at least proportionately. But I asked this time whether the audience predicted that Labor would win an overall majority

at the next election.

And by two-thirds to a third in both cases, live and on the stream, they predicted that

Labor would win an overall majority.

Anyway, we delve deep.

I hope we had some fun and thank you so much for coming.

The next live show is on October the 23rd at King's Place and the tickets are on sale.

I put the link in. It will be almost like a kind of sequel but self-contained to the one the other day.
