Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

It's far too hot.

Well, at least we're not having to sit in a council chamber with 39 other people or more than 39 other people next week.

Cool, yeah. I mean, I look at it at the moment. I mean, those who are watching live are blessed because I finally decided to put a shirt on, which was not my primary arrangements for most of the day. And if I look at, if I was looking forward to Tuesday,

now I don't know what the air conditions like in the council chamber,

but I'm going to guess unspectacular.

I think it involves opening the windows.

Oh, which, if outside of the window, the temperature is the same

as a cream of mushroom soup, then oh, oh. So yes, we're, although there's a slightly

end of term feel about the, uh feel about the timing of our show,

as I think Parliament rises Tuesday week,

and this is the last full council meeting before the holidays,

rather than them agreeing to sit down and watch a nice film like Toy Story for a couple of hours,

as you might hope.

Instead, it's a monster of an agenda. Yeah, indeed. As you say, the last one before, they're all going on,

summer holiday. And, yeah, so 13 items on the agenda paper, as well as an extraordinary meeting ahead of the

fort, just before the full council about appointing some aldermans to the city.

But yeah, so 13 items on the full council agenda and 11 items in 11 notices of motion.

So there are 11 motions.

Wow.
