You're listening to BBC Scotland

Hello, you're listening to Podlitical, BBC Scotland's podcast that brings you an inside look

of the big stories coming out of Hollywood and Westminster.

It is four minutes past

one on Thursday the 5th of September. I'm Phil Sim, a reporter based at the Scottish Parliament,

and today I'm joined by. I'm Raj Deep Sandus sitting in Westminster for the nine. I'm David

Wallace Locker, a political reporter mainly for the nine. And I'm Jane McCormack, political reporter for the BBC in Belfast.

And we've got Matthew Cox in the box producing for us today.

I accidentally made a rhyme out of that.

Yeah, so we're back.

I've got no idea why.

There's nothing much going on in politics, is there?

Yeah, it's so quiet here.

I mean, what are we even going to talk about?

Like, did everyone have really chilled out summer? Nice relaxation?

Yeah, it was good. I switched off from news, which was a mistake, because then when I came

back, there was so much news. It kind of wasn't the time to have a digital detox, was it?

No, it really wasn't. The thing is, so many people didn't take the summer off, really,

because they thought by the time we got through Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister,

maybe September would quiet and darn about it.

I don't know why people decided to do that.
