The

The Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics with me, Steve Richards, the weekly podcast.

Thank you so much indeed for tuning in wherever you are in the UK and indeed

around the rest of the world. And as ever, and do you know what I'm going to say?

We have got loads to cram in in our time together. Soon we'll come to your wonderful

questions on a whole range of issues, mainly focusing on this constantly

moving current political drama with this new regime of shallow revolutionaries, you know,

the Taxpayers Alliance, the IEA in number 10 seizing power and having as their instruments of power, trusts and quateng.

And it's all going so well for them so far. And of course I'll be reflecting on all of that.

Just a couple of notices. King's Place live on Wednesday, October the 26th, rock and roll politics. Tickets can be got through a link

on the blur for the podcast. So see you there. I mean, God knows where we'll be then in the light of

the kind of fast-moving political story. But we will need to gather to make sense of it all.

Oh yeah, the other notice, those of you who kindly subscribe to Patreon,

where you get bonus podcasts, rock and roll politics mugs and all the other stuff.

The next bonus podcast series will start shortly.

I was going to get it to you this week, but with the Tory Party conference and so on.

If you don't mind,

it's going to be next week. Now, Scott Crosswell emailed me with his great idea,

which originated in an email ages ago about politicians being in the wrong party. And I'm going to think about that a bit more, Scott. But first of all, because it tells us so much really about, it shines light, certainly on the current chaos.

I'm going to look at government crises, apparently self-imposed cock-ups.

It's going to be an interesting series, I think, because I'm going to explore the degree to which they were cock-ups,

beginning with the poll tax, the policy that partly brought about the downfall of Margaret Thatcher
