| 0:00.0 | Hello, this is the Red Box Podcast. I'm at Matt Cholley. It's Wednesday, so it must be |
| 0:07.6 | PMQ's unpacked. Patrick McGuire and I pause the action from the House of Commerce to |
| 0:12.0 | analyse in real time as Keir Starmer returns to Grill Boris Johnson about you know what. |
| 0:17.6 | And if you find yourself at a loose end at midday on a Wednesday, you can now watch along |
| 0:22.8 | as we are now stream PMQ's unpacked on the Times Radio YouTube channel. So go to YouTube, |
| 0:30.1 | search Times Radio, subscribe so you don't miss anything. And then you can watch us live |
| 0:34.1 | as we pause the comments action every Wednesday at midday. But no, if you miss it, you can |
| 0:37.7 | always catch up with it on the podcast as you are doing right now. First, the Columnist |

| 1:14.9 | assuming he's not in number 10. I can't imagine it now. Can you? I thought that was assumed |
| 1:20.9 | by the question. It's interesting, though, isn't it? You know, the guy who won this shot landslide |
| 1:25.2 | just over a year, two years ago, we're now assuming he's definitely what, so he doesn't lead the |
| 1:31.4 | toys into the next election? He might not lead the toys into next week, depending on what that |
| 1:36.3 | was at PMQ's. Yeah, I think Starmer's got a real problem at Kiss Starmer's because it's such an |
| 1:41.3 | open goal now, isn't that you go into PMQ's and you've got this situation where you can't lose |
