Hello, hello, hello, welcome to the show. So, nothing's a hard way, not a pot of history

0:18.2

of what happened there. So basically, he spent ages saying nothing to see here, A, all

0:23.0

above board, what you're pointing at me for. And then, threatening to see various people

0:28.8

who scrutinised his tax affairs. And then, was he Sunak who appointed him, despite knowing

0:35.4

he was under investigation and that carried a reputation or risk to his government, then

0:41.4

obviously he was forced to do an investigation. And then it turned out that actually, he made

1:50.0

support the show using super chats that I will read out. Oh, yeah, I need to go through

1:53.4

the other super chats. I didn't read out last week, which was very bad for me. So I will
