| 0:00.0 | Hello, Merry Christmas and welcome to the political party. This episode features the |
| 0:15.6 | Daily Mirror's Pippa Creera, the breakra, some of the biggest stories in politics in the |
| 0:20.2 | last two years. And of course, this year, all those incredible exclusives about the parties |
| 0:25.7 | at number 10 and elsewhere. We talk about all that. It's brilliant. But before that, this |
| 0:31.8 | is probably the last episode of the year. I think it is the last episode of the year. I may |
| 0:36.3 | try and put one out early in the new year, but we'll see. The first live show is the 10th |
| 0:40.8 | of January at the Duchess Theatre in Neal Kinock. Two weeks after that, my guest is Angela |
| 0:45.3 | Rainock. We've got some great guests. I'm on the verge of being able to confirm for February |
| 0:48.9 | onwards. And I'm delighted to announce that I'm going on tour for the first time in a couple |
| 0:53.6 | of years with my brand new show Clowns to the left of me, Joker's to the right. It's |
| 0:57.7 | a title I really should have thought of a long time ago. So it really, I sound kind of |

| 1:13.6 | And I can't decide whether it's a really good poster or whether it just looks cracker. |
| 1:20.6 | Anyway, judge for yourself. You can get tickets. I know. So I'm probably coming to a comedy |
| 1:23.7 | club or an art sent to me. I'm going to notting them various dates in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, |
| 1:29.5 | Charlie, Salford, Newcastle, Hexham. I don't know the dates in front of me. So I'm just |
| 1:35.3 | listening to the bath Bristol all over the place. Matt Ford dot com. And you'll be able |
| 1:39.6 | to find the tickets there. What a great Christmas present. Although you've left it a little |
| 1:44.2 | light, but don't worry about that. Either for yourself or for a loved one. So anyway, |
| 1:50.1 | this is the last show of the year. Merry Christmas. Obviously the Christmas special didn't |
| 1:54.2 | take place. We had to delay it because of COVID. We're looking to reschedule that. So if |
