Hello, Chris.

Hello.

Did you do any like political reading at the weekend?

I did.

I know how to kick back, relax, and take my mind off the job.

And that was by reading the start of,

because I haven't got very far into it,

Tom Baldwin's biography of Kia Starmer.

Oh, inspired by Friday's episode of Newscast,

which you of course listened to our long interview with

Tom Baldwin. Oh gosh I didn't actually know that. Don't worry you don't have to

listen to every episode it's fine. It's an interesting book though it is a good book

I'm only about 20 pages in but I'm the can I tell you what I'm most interested in so

far in Kia Starmer's book the fact that he and his three siblings all got a

dog when they were a 10 one each yeah and Yeah, and also because he had, some of them were twins, so basically had four dogs at the house at one point.

Yeah, four dogs, four kids, two parents, all in the car going on a holiday in the Lake District.

Where they went to every year.

Yeah.

So much to discuss about that book.

But anyway, so as part of the newscast, one day only pop-up political biography book club,

we've had a few people emailed in. David
