Hello, this is the Webbox Podcast. I'm Matt Surely bringing you the best of my Times

radio show, Monday to Friday, 10 till 1. Don't forget you can listen live on your

TAB radio, on your smart speaker or download the Times radio app. Coming up on today's

episode, we've got the latest exit interview with dozens of MPs announcing their standing

down at the next election. I invite some of them into my office to ask them why they're

leaving the highs and the lows and the advice to their successor. In my office, this week,

it's Sir Gary Streeter, concerted MP for South West Devons since 1992. He discusses everything

from why John Major shouldn't have been Prime Minister, which is a bit awkward because he actually

worked for him after he lost him 97. Being sacked by Ian Duncan Smith and his one word verdicts

on every Tory Prime Minister since that's coming up in just a moment. But first, as we always

do, let's take a look at the day's news with the columnists.

The columnists on Times radio. And it should be Liberation Day, but no

Libby Purvis, so we have got Rachel Vesterbody, Rachel. Morning Matt. And we have got

Ian Marty Morning here. Good morning. Now, just to warn you both, today is a

John Free Zone. So if you mention him at any point, you will hear this noise.

Because I'm sick of talking about him. And no, no good is going to come. I really approve of

this rule. It's a very good idea. Excellent. Very good. So instead, let's talk about the other guy,

Keir Starmer. The whole nation of the choices is launching another one of his missions this morning.

Ian, what number mission is this? I don't have lost count. But I think it is updating your

wall chart at home. Is there a Keir Starmer wall chart available? But I do think this one is

rather important and significant what he's doing. Of course, he's announcing the latest version

keeps changing of his green revolution. Yes, there's number four for the number four mission.
