I'm Michael Crick, I'm a journalist who's worked for News Night and Channel 4 News, as well as writing biographies of The Rich and Powerful.

In my new series, Mugshots, we profile leading figures in politics and public life today, speaking to those who know them best, to build up a portrait, unlike any that's been seen before.

That's Mugshots with Michael Crick. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.

New Year, new me. Nah, I'm fine just the way I am. Doing the things I love, like enjoying a latte on the bus with some music or on a walk with a friend.

My only resolution is to enjoy more of what I love, like switching up my usual with oat, soy, almond or coconut. All delicious non-dairy alternatives available at Starbucks. For no extra charge, while stocks last subject to availability.

Hello and welcome back to O God What Now, broadcasting to you from Free islington North. I'm Andrew Harrison. Today, Jeremy Corbyn is barred from Standing for Labour in the constituency that is home to O God What Now. Will he stand anyway? And we actually need more awkward-scored independent MPs.

Plus, WTF to EDF and to hell with Shell. Energy companies are registering record profits while bills reach I-Watering levels. Who's going to fix it? And Rishi Soonak is just magiced up several new departments out thin air.

Which offices of state would the panel like to have a go at if somebody in government was desperate enough to handle the rains of power?

So let's meet that panel. Fresh from Ogwin Live in London. It's Times Radio host and former Labour spin doctor, Aisha Hazarek. Hello Aisha.

Hello. So that was a good fun live show, wasn't it? Oh, it was so much fun. It was absolutely brilliant. Had the best best time. And it was just such a nice.

It was so nice for us to gather in real life and the audience was lovely. It was just all just I was very happy afterwards.

The role of the griefs paint on the smell of the crowd. So I wanted to ask you, this is something that we looked at a little bit at the live show.

It was a surprise on the day when Nicholas Sturgeon's resignation announcement came out and we had to rapidly rewrite the live show.

Cape Forbes and the Hums are you so for formally announced their campaigns today. What's the latest?

Well, I think the chat that everyone's really surprised about is that Angus Robertson has not put his hat in the ring. I think for many people, they saw Angus a somebody who would have had a really good shot of winning.

And somebody who's been around a long time, he's quite well recognized, a bit of a gray beard. He's held senior positions before.

And somebody quite senior in the SMP who are saying to me that they feel that they're quite confident with the younger vote, where they are struggling and where they kind of need to move the needle is with older voters.

And that someone like Angus Robertson could have been quite a good person to do that. So I think people are quite surprised that he hasn't thrown his hat in the ring.

So it now looks like it's really down to a runoff between Cape Forbes and Hums are you serve Ash Reagan has also put a hat in the ring.

She was very critical of the gender reform package that a Nicholas Sturgeon put forward, but she's not seen as that experienced a candidate.

She's also very much sticking to Nicholas Sturgeon's idea of having a sort of one line manifesto, which is basically a de facto referendum at the next general election.

And there's quite a lot of uncertainty about that approach. So it's going to be really interesting. I mean, Cape Forbes is an interesting character.
