Summary
Arguably Britain's most charismatic politician returns to the show in a whirlwind of entertainment, passion and drive. As well as defence of Labour's pragmatism and policies, Angela regales the Edinburgh crowd with stories about clubbing until 5am and her favourite cocktail which always derails her BBQs. She also reflects on how she's grown as a politician and how Labour is approaching the next election. A mix of the deeply political mixed in with the massive, outrageous laughs that only Angela Rayner can provide. Crack open the cocktail cabinet and enjoy on a Spanish beach at 6am.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the political party. Today's guest is Angela Reina returning to the show on stunning |
| 0:18.2 | form as you would absolutely imagine. Angela is always great fun as a guest because as well as |
| 0:24.0 | the passion and the drive and the urgency that she has as a politician forged, of course, |
| 0:30.4 | by her upbringing and the way that she saw life. She's also absolutely hilarious and outrageous. |
| 0:38.4 | Oh, man, I'm just remembering some of the things she says in this, but I don't know spoilers, |
| 0:42.6 | but there is a drink that is mentioned. I would say midway through this that I'd never heard of. |
| 0:48.6 | So get in touch if you've ever had one political party podcast at gmail.com or maybe |
| 0:54.1 | tweet your pictures of this particular thing. I don't want to ruin the impact. I'd never heard of it, |
| 0:58.4 | but the more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to try it. But this is fantastic. Lots of |

| 1:21.2 | smart watch that track your exercise. I'm going to give no more away. Oh, just to let you know, |
| 1:25.6 | the last one of these I should remember to promote future shows is on the 21st of August |
| 1:32.7 | with Kate Forbes. That's the 21st of August at the Gilder Balloon with Kate Forbes, who almost |
| 1:38.0 | became the First Minister of Scotland. So that will be absolutely fantastic. But I'm now going to |
| 1:44.5 | take a break because I want you to enjoy an hour in the company of one of our most charismatic |
| 1:49.4 | politicians, Angela Rainer. |
| 1:59.2 | Thank you very much. Oh, what a wonderful welcome. Hello. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. |
| 2:05.2 | Thank you so much for coming to what is going to be a very special hour for all of us. |
| 2:09.5 | I am delighted that Angela Rainer is my guest this afternoon. Angela has been on the podcast before |
| 2:15.2 | and as you may be aware, that episode went viral about 16 times based on various stories that |
