Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism.

Hello Snowflakes. Welcome back to the New European podcast with me, Steve Anglesey, the editor of

the New European. Inspired by Rishi Sunak's daring and in no way already guaranteed to happen, five pledges,

here are my five pledges for this edition of the podcast.

Pledge one, there will be some talking on it.

Pledge two, some of the talking on it will be about Brexit.

Pledge three, some of the talking on it won't be complementary about Brexit. Pledge four, some of the people talking on it will be

economics expert, Jonti Bloom and the New Europeans, Eleanor Longmanrood and Matt Withers.

And Pledge five. After the talking about Brexit is finished, the podcast will be over.

Those are my pledges, so I ask you to judge us on the effort we put in and the results we achieve.

Before we talk Sunak and Stama speeches and Brexit gloom with Jonti Bloom, another excellent print edition of the

New European is available now. That's issue 323, which has a toilet roll on the cover.
