| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the week in 60 Minutes, brought to you by Spectator TV and broadcast on Thursday the 23rd of February. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm Kate Andrews, the Spectator's economics editor, and your host this week. |
| 0:21.6 | Coming up on the show. |
| 0:23.6 | As Britain promises to send more arms out to Ukraine, what's become of the nation's hollowed-out |
| 0:28.6 | army? Would the UK be prepared to fight in a war on the cheap? I'll be speaking to Andrew Roberts |
| 0:33.6 | and the right Honorable Tobias Elwood MP. Negotiations over the Northern Ireland Protocol are in full swing with rumors of a deal coming soon, |
| 0:41.3 | but can Rishi Sunak meet everybody's demands and who will have to compromise? |
| 0:46.3 | Arlene Foster is with me on the show. |
| 0:49.3 | Shemima Begham has just lost her latest appeal to return to the UK. |

| 1:11.6 | hunt, or does the public have a right to know what she thinks on topics such as gay marriage |
| 1:15.7 | and having children outside of marriage? I'm joined by a member of her church, David Robertson. |
| 1:21.9 | And finally, meal deals are a much-love bargain in supermarkets, but in Wales there is talk of |
| 1:26.8 | restriction. I'll be speaking to Lucy Dunn, who eats meal deals at least once, maybe twice a day. |
