Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the twice weekly podcast with me Steve Richards.

Thank you so much for tuning in wherever you are in the UK and indeed around the rest of

the world. And there are a lot of you around the rest of the world at the moment. We've got questions

from all over the globe if we have time to get through them all later on in the podcast. If it's

okay with you, I will be reflecting shortly on the implications of the row over the

labour ads, got lots of questions about that as well, and linking it to, believe it or not,

the reaction to the death of Nigel Lawson, because I think there is a connection

and there are lessons that link the two. Stay tuned, stay tuned. Then we'll come to your

brilliant questions. Just before that, a couple of announcements. Rock and Roll Politics is live

at the Old Market Theatre in Brighton on Monday, April the 24th, a brand new show.

So for those of you on the South Coast in Brighton and nearby, do come along. Tickets will be in the blurb, the link to the tickets.

But obviously you can go to the old market theatre website, get some tickets.

We will have a great evening. It's a lovely theatre, lovely bar, and there will be much to make

sense of. Then, is the opinion poll lead of labour soft? If so, why? With what implications for the

coming months? I mean, I'm just, you know, if we were doing it tonight, that's perhaps what it

would be. But let's see on April the 24th.

Also, now on Patreon, for those of you who subscribe, you will have the latest bonus podcast on Troublemakers.

This one, David Owen.

And with your, and that was an idea from a listener, actually.

And so I've got some emails from listeners for new ideas, which are great, for new series on that Patreon rock and roll politics version.

So do subscribe if you can.

And now, yeah, those Labour ads, I've got, it's a real sign when there is something whirling around
