Summary
Do we mind if our Conservative prime minister takes a private jet (to Leeds), if has a private GP, if sends his kids to private school? Are you outraged or happy that he's using his time (and frequently his own money) more efficiently?

| 0:32.8 | And today was one of those moments where miraculously a photo that contained him and an aircraft and an |
| 0:40.5 | official and somebody else's elbow. That person, one Boris Johnson, as it happens, had been |
| 0:48.1 | completely airbrushed out. I don't know about the two of you, but if you've ever felt that you |
| 0:52.3 | spent a long time or a lot of time with two other people than ever been tempted to sort of airbrush at least one of them out? |

| 1:07.2 | It's John. |
| 1:08.0 | It's Emily. |
| 1:08.6 | And it's John. It's Emily. And it's Lewis. And there is a theme that is going to run through this podcast, |
