0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the week in 60 minutes brought to you by Spectator TV on this April the 27th.
0:20.0	My name is Freddie Gray. I am the deputy editor of the
0:23.6	spectator and I will be your host today.
0:27.6	Coming up, the Storm Troopers. Our cover piece this week is about Kier-Starmers' new model army
0:35.6	of centrist who are slowly taking over the party again, taking
0:40.5	back control, as Katie Balls says in her cover piece. I'll be joined by Katie Bulls, that's
