Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European dotco.uk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. Hello and happy Sunday. Happy Sunday. Welcome to the two Matt's Q&A episode brought to you by the

New European. You ready to go, Matt? Absolutely. So first question from Jonathan Haps. Should Labor include

a preemptive rejection of a Sunac honours list in their manifesto?

Also, should Labour finally set up a truly independent body to oversee and suggest honours, including the right to take them back if they fail to uphold the values of the institution they represent?

What do you think?

Well, I don't think that they should uh reject suanax honors list because i

think that um soonax honors list will be so deplorable that it will make the argument that we need

to make which is a dishonor list yes uh and starm has already said he won't have one if he becomes

prime minister and i think that that's that's good and i hope that that soon acts is the last

yeah to the second part it's a very there's a very good question about a truly independent body

the the various committees that make recommendations with of course in whitehall insist you know

strongly that they are you you know, totally independent.
