It's January. You've joined a gym, given up drinking, gone vegan and vowed to be an all-round better person.

But as all those fads start to fade away, there's only one New Year's resolution you need to stick to.

Welcome to the podcast as not just for Christmas elections. That's right. Calling Peston is back.

I'm Daniel Hewitt. That is Shih Khan. And joining us as ever on the phone will be Mr Robert Peston. After 30 episodes in 36 days, ITV somehow decided we should make some more. So here we are. Our daily election podcast has become a weekly politics podcast. And Shehab, what have we got on today's show?

That's right, Dan. In case listeners hadn't got sick of us already, we're back. And this time

we're offering you a weekly dosage of political chit-chat. On today's episode, after winning

48 of the 59 seats in Scotland, the S&P are renewing their calls for Scottish independence. And the

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has responded by telling them to change their record. And the Labour

Leadership Contest is now in full swing. There are five candidates for leader and five for deputy. We'll

be talking you through what's been happening so far. And later in today's episode, we'll be

joined by Jess Phillips, who's in the running to replace Jeremy Corbyn. So there you have it. We've

evolved and changed for series two, slightly heavier post-Christmas. But one thing that does stay the

same is that we're back in our delightful cupboard in Westminster. Speak for yourself.

I am quite literally speaking for myself now.

How are you, she have?

I'm ill.

He was literally about to wipe his nose when I asked him that question.

I'm okay.

And who made you ill?

You made me ill.

I made him ill.

So Dan was ill at the start of the week.
