Summary
Well ahead in the polls, Keir Starmer becomes more confident and authoritative. He has learnt the lesson that ‘tax and spend’ debate is impossible for Labour to win in opposition but can be won in government. In my view the opposite applies to constitutional reform…Plus, brilliant responses to Hancock in the jungle and whether trains are better in Europe.

| 0:35.2 | Thank you so much for tuning in, wherever you are, around the UK, |
| 0:39.7 | and indeed the rest of the world. And we have, as ever, got lots to cram in in our time together. |
| 0:49.7 | If it's okay with you, I will in a moment reflect on Kirstama, who's had a busy time of it recently |
| 0:57.2 | by doing a bit of contextualisation, context being one of our favourite words, isn't it, in our rock and |
| 1:05.8 | roll politics cooperative. Then over to some brilliant questions. But first, again, if it's okay with all of you, |
| 1:12.3 | a couple of very quick announcements. First of all, don't forget, rock and roll politics live |
| 1:18.4 | at the old market theatre in Brighton this coming Monday, the Christmas special Monday, |

| 1:53.3 | And there's going to be a brilliant prediction that we're all going to have to make. Yeah, |
| 1:57.7 | all sorts of things. And it's a lovely theatre apparently. It's my first time there. |

| 2:28.8 | And the last one of this series is the Suez Crisis, which was just extraordinary, more intense than Iraq in so many ways. |
| 2:39.3 | And then in January, a new series is going to start. I'm really, you know, I sound like a DJ, |
