Hello, this is the Red Box Podcast and The Times. I'm Matt Jolly.

Something special for you this week. A recording of an event I did with Ed Balls,

former Shadow Chancellor and now Start of Strictly and Philip Webster

former political editor of the Times who worked for the paper for 40 years where we

spent a terrific evening with 300 times readers covering everything from keeping Britain out of the euro, the state of the Labour Party

and the lumber. This is part one of the event recorded live at the Emanuel Center in Westminster.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome here to this terrific venue for what I'm hoping will be a fascinating evening

covering everything from the politics of the 1970s to the Rumber.

I'm Matt Jolly, I'm the editor of the Times Red Box.
