| 0:17.7 | Good evening and welcome to Navarra Life. |
| 0:20.8 | I'm an unfortunately very sunburnt Helena, aka No Justice MTG. |
| 0:24.6 | And tonight I'm going to be joined by Mike Bancoly. |
| 0:28.6 | Mike, to quote a famous singer from the early 2000s, it's been a while. |
| 0:33.6 | It has been a while. I've been away since March. |

| 1:39.5 | will be the sacrificial lamb to save Kirstama's government from its own failures. The use of a |
| 1:43.8 | fall guy to pin the blame of a leader's political failure on has been a staple of British |
