Hello and welcome to the political party. Today's guest is Gordon McKee, Labour MP for Glasgow South,

and you will know him as the Biscuit Man from social media, the man whose viral videos explain Britain's debt

talent for social media, about what his aims are with it, about how to make a video go viral.

And Winchester, a couple of nights at the Bloomsbury Theatre on the 14th of February, Valentine's Day, and the 18th of April,

not Valentine's Day, and a big shout at the Notting Theatre Royal as well, but also Coventry,

Cambridge, Chipping Norton, Liverpool, I've not played for a long time on tour, so I can't wait
