Hello and welcome to the Political Party, Christmas Special, which features the Mayor of London,

0:03.8

to the Khan and the Labour MP for Tuting, Rizuna Alan Khan, who at the time of recording

0:08.4

was weighing up whether to stand for the Labour Deputy Leadership or not. So by the time

0:11.8

you listen to this, that decision may well have been taken. It was a brilliant night,

0:15.7

the Bloonsbury Theatre. And the Christmas shows always have, obviously, a slightly more

0:20.8

raucous element to them, and that's become the tradition of them. Obviously talking to

0:25.6

two Labour MPs after that election result means that at times there is introspection and reflection,

Joined by Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London and Rosanna Alan Khan, the Labour MP for Tuting,

1:27.2

who may or may not be standing for the deputy leadership, we shall find out over the course of the

1:31.3

evening. But ladies and gentlemen, before we start, let me just ask, give me a chair if you've been here

1:35.3

before. I should have said to political party, not the Bruce with theatre. And give me a chair,

1:39.9

this is your first political party. Well, welcome newcomers. And I tell you, I know it's always

1:45.1

difficult when people ask you how you vote, but do cheer as loud as you possibly can, which

1:49.2

might be difficult depending on how you voted. So I'll start with an easy one first. Give me a
