| 0:00.0 | The Newsagents podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity. |
| 0:09.3 | This is a global player original podcast. |
| 0:12.5 | Welcome to a slightly special Q&A edition of the Newsagents. |
| 0:16.8 | You berated me last time when I said special and you said, why is it special? |
| 0:20.6 | Well, why is this one slightly special? Well, it might be. I'm hoping it's nice to see you, by the way. Nice to see you. I've seen you all bloody weak. Calvin has said, let's kick off with Calvin's question who says, Hi, newsagents. I love the podcast. I'm one of your listeners in the US. My girlfriend and I listen every day. |
| 0:38.5 | Oh, thank you, Calvin. Coolidge, presumably. My question is, one of the things that came out of the |
| 0:43.1 | Zelensky visit to the White House was the worrying fact that Trump already has a gift shop with |

| 1:38.8 | Yeah, yeah. No, there's something like, but I know, I have got, when Blair became Labour leader, |
| 2:02.1 | and he was redrawing Clause 4. And I have got some sort of full scat paper with his writing on it and crossings out. He left it on a train. I was on a train travelling with him. And there was all this stuff. And I thought, oh, that's quite interesting, actually. What, he just left his notes. Well, there were some notes that were left. And I've got some of those notes of when he was trying to reformulate clause 4 of the Labour Party constitution. I thought you'd quite like that. I do like that. So you want to stop |
