Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning. Indeed, to you. I kind of, once again, find myself more or less in your hands today. I shall sort of dangle a few choice morsels in front of you, and we'll determine what direction the programme takes by which morsels you nibble upon most enthusiastically. I've got a bit of a left field question for later in the program because I sense that an unleavened diet of coronavirus related conversations would be a little bit much for all of us. I'm very interested in Liz Truss starting negotiations with the European Union about the Northern Ireland Protocol. And two questions really, depending on which side of that fence you sit on.

Does anyone still sit on the other side?

Does anyone still waiting for their unicorn?

But the question of what will be blamed is the fact that she was a very ardent, so-called

Remainer prior to the referendum results?

Does that set her up for a massive fall when she, like all her predecessors, fails?

Or do we believe? Do you believe? I feel like, sure. Do you believe that she has actually had a genuine change of heart and now is probably the only person in the world who has come from thinking it would be a really bad idea,

then seeing all the evidence of it being a really bad idea,

and concluding that it was a really good idea.

I don't know.

We may get on to set out a little letter in the programme.

I thought I'd give you a fair warning.

Two newspaper headlines today that in many ways sum up two things.

They sum up where we are

and they sum up how little we've learned

or certainly how little our leaders have learned.

I think they're both from the Times.

I know the first one is from the Times,

but either way, two headlines from today's newspapers.

Time to trust the people,

but not the scientists,

urges Jacob Rees-Mogg.
