And remember, investment

involves risk. Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots. I'm Lucy Dunn and today I'm joined

And he was asked about why he'd misread the moon in his party. And Stama, as he is sometimes wanting to do, bristled slightly at this and suggested that, you know, there was sort of noises off going on.

Now, I wouldn't call 120 odd

Labour MPs, including a number of respected senior chairman of the party, people that make
