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.

So welcome folks to the second of our general election special podcasts.

Yeah, welcome indeed.

Thank you for all the feedback from our first one, very warmly received.

What could we talk about this week, Matt?

There is so much because of the timing of when we record the podcasts.

We haven't yet really, well, we haven't addressed the Sunak disaster at D-Day.

Yeah.

And we should indulge ourselves and have a few minutes of that.

Not least, because here, recording Monday, and the row, the problem, the the broader defect it reveals is still running

I mean this this story has not gone away and I don't think it is going to go away and if

anything in the context of what we also know about the European elections the damage of that

one inane decision yes be even further compounded.
