This is a passenger announcement. You can now book your train on Uber and get 10% back in credits to spend on Uber eats.

So you can order your own fries instead of eating everyone else's.

Trains, now on Uber. T's and C's apply. Check the Uber app. I'm Matt Jolly here to spread some festive cheer after what has been.

Excellent. That's a good start.

Uh...

Ho!ho!

Thank you for unwrapping this special Christmas Day edition of the Red Box Politics

Podcast on The Times.

I'm actually here to spread some festive cheer after what has been a reasonably eventful end to quite a 12

months in politics. Forgoing Christmas Day with their loved ones and joining me to cast a

wistful eye over the most dramatic year since last year are my two favorite

impressionists who were being put out of work by the clowns running the country.

The brilliant Rory Bremner and the brillianter Jan Raven's.

Welcome to you both. Thank you very much. Thank you for joining me here on Christmas day in this lovely studio with the machine. I think that's fake news. I think we need to tell people we're not actually here on Christmas day

even mad at the red bucks a matter the times he's telling fake news I mean do you know we could

record this program half an hour before it went out and it would still be out of date.

So what we've chosen to do is record it on the day that Theresa May is facing a vote of no confidence

in a few hours time and we don't totally know what happened but we'll edit it in later.

She appeared bleating on the Downing Street steps this morning.

She had a bit of a struggle actually getting out of the door of Downing Street but she made it to the podium in the end.

Before we dive into the year you two have been on tour this year.

Yes.
