| 0:17.1 | So I'm delighted that this episode of the Restus Politics is sponsored by Audible. As people have |
| 0:23.2 | been complaining when they listen to podcasts, I seem to spend far too much time traveling around |
| 0:28.1 | the world and I absolutely love audiobooks. And I listen to them on planes. I listen to them |
| 0:36.1 | when I'm going to sleep at night. I listen to them when I'm going for a stroll. It's a beautiful |

| 1:41.9 | Turkey, and particularly actually probably Syria, where I suspect it's even worse because of the |
| 1:46.4 | lack of infrastructure there and all the geopolitics that are playing out there. |
| 1:50.4 | Sadly, I think we have to talk about Elizabeth Truss and Alexander Boris Depeffel Johnson |
| 1:58.6 | and the difficulties that they're giving their successor, Mr. Sunak. And I'm fascinated by what's |
| 2:04.0 | happening in your old constituency. So we can come into that as well. But let's just kick off with |
