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.

at his press conference, his first press conference as Prime Minister, he gave a really good

I thought that was a great way of describing him that you came up with administrator-in-chief.

But it cuts both ways, doesn't it, potentially?

Yes, it does.

There's a slight lack of Rasmataz, maybe.

But he looked like an adult in the room, which was a change.
