I'm Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics with me, Steve Richards.

This is the weekly podcast.

Thank you all very much for tuning in, wherever you are, as ever, around the world,

Australia, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom. We're everywhere. Anyway, we've got a lot to get

through as ever. Before we start, thank you those of you who tuned in to the live stream last Wednesday from King's Place,

well actually from a room in my house for the very last time I was in my boudoir.

Some people have suggested they build a set of the boudoir at King's Place, so it looks as if I'm in my house still, for nostalgic

reasons and sensual ones, perhaps. But that's not going to happen. The next show will be

live, Indian variant permitting at King's Place on June the 28th. Tickets are available. It will also be streamed, so if you can't get to it,

you can get a stream ticket, but it will be live in the theatre, just like the Alden dates.

Do you remember those times when we could gather at a theatre and have some fun together and make sense of it all. Well, it's going to be like

that again. So do come along. And then, by the way, in July, I'm going to be live at the Greenwich

Theatre, for those of you who are in that kind of part of the world, and going back to the great

rope tackle theatre in Shoreham,

if you're nearby, Brighton or whatever,

and we can have some great live fun there.

If it's okay with you, oh yeah, no, no, before I get going,

I need to report one other thing.

We had our regular prediction last Wednesday.

And it was Will Keir Stama be leader of the Labour Party in a year's time and I can reveal again for you exclusively on the podcast

that 80% of the audience predicted he would be leader in a year's time.

And we explored that live.
