Good morning listeners. I want to start with a health warning

0:13.1

about me and Ian. We could sort of claim to be, if not experts, then to have something to say about politics and,

0:25.4

or at least we're good at reckoning when it comes to those sorts of things.

0:28.9

But there is no way that we can claim to be experts on anything to do with health.

0:33.6

So please, unlike somebody yesterday who tweeted me about his chest condition and asked

0:41.1

for medical advice. People are more interested in the condition of your chest. Can I say it's in

0:48.9

fine form if anybody's worried, inside and out.

0:59.4

1:03.6

But we're not here to provide medical advice, but we are good at reckoning.

My lifestyle is about to change quite dramatically, I think, and I suspect it'll be the same of a lot of

1:46.5

people, but we'll come on to that in a bit. There are also a few other things to talk about.

1:50.7

I'd actually forgotten that the budget had taken place this week. So we do need to give that a mention.

1:57.5

I'm sure you will want to talk about the new chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, Mr Christopher Grayling, Esquire.

2:05.9

Indeed.

2:07.8

And we have quite a few questions to get through as well.

2:11.5
