Hello my name is David Ronseman and this is Talking Politics.

Oh sorry, hello. I didn't get up before 34 months.

Early morning, dominant comedies morning.

I've a little jet lagged and adult but otherwise fine.

We are eight days, nine days out from Donald Trump becoming president of the United States.

I think everyone is aware of that looking around the table here.

I just had to say those words and everyone looked very aware of that.

Oh my god.

So we're not going to talk about that this week.

We will be talking about it next week and every week till the end of time.

But this week we're going to talk about something a little more parochial, the British Labour Party.

And specifically we'll start but we won't get bogged down with because it's all over the newspapers.

Jeremy Corbyn's relaunch yesterday.

And we gave a series of interviews across the mainstream media.

But to try to get beyond the mainstream media when it's itself is slightly odd tactic.

In which he spoke about Europe, tried to sketch out what his position is on Brexit.

But also and it sounds like it was semi unplanned.

Made some rash statements about what he would do to income inequality starting with his claim on the today program that he would set a cap and upper limit to what people could earn by way of salary.

Which he then drifted away from and then back to start talking about ratios within companies.

Whether the person at the top should earn 20 times more or less than the person at the bottom and so on.

And then he also said some things about free movement to people.

So we're going to start with that but then I want to talk more broadly about the Labour Party because it's not all about Corbyn.
