BBC Sounds, Music, Radio Podcasts. Chris is here. Hello. We've not heard from you this week yet. Well, you know, it's not much been going on, has been... That's been so quiet, Chris. We've just been sat at home twiddling your thumbs. How would you sum it up so far? I'm glad as we're recording that it is Wednesday night, because it kind of feels like, I don't know, like Friday night or Saturday morning. Friday next week.

Yeah, yeah, no, exactly.

It's been quite the week. And we're just reporting on it. You know, we're not the people at the centre of it. We're just the people at the centre of it. We're just, we're not the volume off of my laptop. That's a good headline. You're not the first person to have done that in here so far. I'm sorry to see. I did it too. It's just, it's been an extraordinary week, hasn't it? I mean, I'm conscious we've used that line a lot on newscasts in the last umpteen years, but it's been extraordinary because the Prime Minister survived a genuine threat to his premiership. And for a couple of hours on Monday, it was real. It was very, very, very real as some folk in the building acknowledged, let alone the rest of us.

And this is the kind of post that moment of him surviving and then trying to regroup and carry on.

And yet the twists and turns continue.

And we shall discuss them all on this episode of Newscast. Newscast from the BBC. Fat boy sliver me in the classroom doing our violin lessons. I was the tappletail in the class. Can I have an apology, please? I trust almost nobody. Then daddy has to sometimes do strong language. Next time in Moscow. I feel delulu with no salulu. Take me down to Downey Street. Let's go have a tour. Blimey. Hello, it's James in the studio. And it's Alex in the Westminster studio. Yeah, I should have said that. Good point. And it's Chris in Westminster too. And later in this episode, and you must, newscasters, you must, must stay for this. Yeah. We'll be talking to Liz Doucette, who is in Tehran. We've spoken to her already. Yeah. And really... Just ooze stamina and stay on to listen. I mean, we don't hear from Iran very often with our own people, and it's Leeses and she's amazing. So you should definitely stay for that if you can.

But first, equally amazing.

Lees is in stamina as well, doesn't she?

And everything else.

I mean, you know.

Equally amazing, as you say, Chris Mason.

Prime Minister's questions today last before the February recess.

How did you think he got on, the Prime Minister?

He arrived to a big, big, I mean, he always gets a big cheer from his benches, but a really

big cheer. And that does tend to happen across the parties when a leader's had a bumpy week,

a sense of their own side, thinking, the leaders got through it, let's give them a big cheer on the way in.

And that happened and it was noticeable today.

It's totally that thing.

Like you say, leader after leader, party after party, the louder the cheer,

I thought what was interesting about PMQs today was that the leaders of the three

biggest parties at Westminster were all pretty
