| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody, and I am back, Ian, suntanned and rested from my tour of socialist hotspots of Europe |
| 0:10.2 | and ready to do battle with you this morning. I think we might be doing a little bit of battle, |
| 0:16.8 | particularly on the £600 million for the NHS, because I've been seeing what you've put on Twitter. |
| 0:22.5 | So we'll start off by talking about that. Then, of course, the Brexit developments of the week, |
| 0:27.0 | of which there are many. It seems a long time ago that Donald Trump meant Kim Jong-un, |
| 0:31.3 | but that seems to have faded into the distant past. We might talk a bit about upskirting. |

| 1:23.2 | Ian, I, you know, working as I do in the NHS, I am delighted at any increase in funding for the NHS. So that's my positive bit. Several points. Number one, it's not a birthday present. |
| 1:30.8 | A birthday present is something that you give to people that they don't really need, but which is |
| 1:35.6 | special. The NHS bloody needs an increase in investment. One, two, there isn't a Brexit premium. |
| 1:42.8 | I was quite interested in the tweet from Paul Johnson from the Institute of Fiscal Studies, |
| 1:48.5 | who of course makes clear that the government themselves have said that actually public finances will be worse because of our leaving the EU. |
