And welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

Blue and Yellow, till we die.

I'm Ian Tiny Non-Gloating Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

So, dear listener, I think we have to give an advisory note, don't me, Simon, before we get into this,

in that you are not a particularly well man. Before we get into the election bit, spinal malady?

Yeah, I, well, this is where you'll be glad that it's a podcast rather than anything visual-based.

But in my excitement to get ready and start campaigning and doing what I needed to do on

election day I did my back in the shower and then what transpired basically after

40 minutes of trying to find a way to get out of the shower was that pretty much I've

been incapacitated from being able to do anything terribly useful so wasn't able to go to the

count wasn't able to go campaign and it would be fair to say that you are still as we sit here on

Saturday lunchtime in a haze of pain killing medicines yeah your usual crisp and insightful

humorously might not be at the top. with my walking stick so I did my best impression of an oxygenarian that had lost control

to his bowels basically stumbling down the street to vote but you know I just wanted to fit in

with loads of Tory voters I guess indeed yes I think you've which I wasn't one of by the

way just to clarify I think you might need to get your digs in early today.

Well, let's face it, this one's going to be a bumpy road.

So let's have a look at the local scene.

We forecast a land...

Did it not go well?

Oh dear.
