| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the first Tisky Sour of 2023. Happy new year. I hope you had a nice, relaxing |
| 0:11.6 | restful, hopefully enjoyable break. We look forward to taking you through the next 12 |
| 0:16.6 | months of British politics. It's unlikely it will be quite as wild as the last 12 |
| 0:21.1 | months just because that would be incredibly difficult, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't rule |
| 0:24.3 | it out, let's say. Dalia, are you feeling refreshed? I'm feeling, I'm feeling all right. I'm |
| 0:30.8 | very surprised by your optimism that this year is not going to be as wild as the last year, |
| 0:36.6 | what's I feel like every year for the past like five years, we've been like, it can't possibly |
| 0:41.4 | get any more out of control and it always manages to, but I like your optimism. It's true. I am a |
| 0:48.5 | glass half full kind of guy, but yeah, I definitely could get proved wrong. I mean, it could |

| 1:11.1 | the climate change news, which is already coming through, but we're going to start by talking |
| 1:15.2 | about Britain falling apart, and Rishi Soonak's pretty dud attempt to gloss over that fact. |
| 1:22.1 | Rishi Soonak has given his first speech of the year. Now, it was supposed to be a landmark event |
| 1:27.0 | with the prime minister laying out his biggest and boldest ideas for the rest of his term, |
| 1:32.1 | but despite countrywide industrial action, the NHS on life support and a cost of living crisis, |
| 1:37.1 | driving people into poverty, that big idea seemed to be more maps. At least that's how the |
| 1:43.4 | speech was briefed to the papers. The times went with this headline this morning, compulsory maps |
| 1:48.4 | until 18 for every school child apparently. Soonak is on a personal mission to reform education, |
| 1:54.8 | and the telegraphs front page had this maths at the heart of PM's vision for Britain. Now, this was |
