Hello, and Merry Christmas and welcome to the latest edition of the political party podcast this one featuring former leader of the Liberal Democrats

Paddy Ashdown

Paddy has been someone I've wanted to interview for a long time

He's one of the first politicians I remember growing up and it was well worth the wait

Insightful, very funny

At times very risque and just a delight throughout so enjoy

Good evening everyone

Good evening, quite a month

Not much to talk about, well I mean holy shit, he went and did it

So many of us never thought he had it in him and I can't believe he did

Michael Hessel's time strangled his dogs a death

What a crazy fucking story

He's my favourite story all the time, he didn't really want to go back to work

I'm like hi, I'm Matt, welcome to the show

Give me a chance to be a minute and four

Thanks to Mark McRachis, the first time in the political party

Thanks to Mark McRachis, one and all

For that you know where Mark has signed a former deputy prime minister of the political party

He revealed that he throttled his pet house station to death as a child

I mean it's real this, when I heard him say he throttled the dogs a teenager

I just thought it was a uniform isn't it?

He got a stess and throttled the dog right
