PMQ's unpacked on Times Radio, unpacking the politics and cutting through the crossfire.

And here'd help, as always, it's the Times' chief political commentator, Patrick McGuire.

Hello, Patrick.

Hi, Hugo.

You had an exciting 24 hours.

It's been up there with the most exciting 24 hours of my life.

Really?

Not quite.

It's been very fun, though.

It's so hard to know whether you mean things like that. I've

always got a depressing feeling you actually do. Well it's certainly up there. I'd say it's probably

in my top, it's certainly my professional life up there in the top 10. Really? For hours, yeah.

Well, that's good. I'm glad you're coming to share it with us. That's very exciting. And also joining us, you'll know from Times really at the weekend, it's Aisha Hazarika. Hello Aisha. Greetings. How wonderful to have you here. Well, it's such an absolute treat to be here. other many, many roles in the public life of this country.

Once upon a time, you used to prep people for PMQs and one person in particular.

Yes, I did. I almost forgot about that.

I've obviously like blanked it out.

Yeah, I used to prepare a chat called Ed Miliband for Prime Minister's questions back in the day.

And if that wrote a rather good book about it called Punch and Judy Politics.

And, you know, I think this morning the kind of tension in the room is going to be off the scale in terms of preparing Keir Starmour.

Because this is going to be really, really tough for him.

You know, Kemi Biednock is going to be absolutely in Clover over this. But what I would say is sometimes when you have everything

against you, you can actually put in quite a good performance. I mean, don't hold me to that.
