Hello and welcome to this weekend edition of the Not Another One podcast. We are gathered for your listening pleasure, having chewed over the Strategic Defence Review earlier in the week.

But thank you, Tim, for the chewing sound effect now.

We're getting every.

No expense spare.

Before we get into our main topic for the weekend, which is, you know, one year on from Stama fighting and winning an election,

and that famous shit list put together by Sue Gray,

his first chief of staff in Downing Street, of all the immediate, urgent, disastrous problems

that the government faced, we think it wasn't either long enough. Because it had six items,

which I will be testing you on later, chaps. It had six items on it,

and we also think that the shittiness of the shit list was not emphasised enough, considering

where the government finds itself these nearly 12 months later. So we'll be getting to that

as the meat of our podcast. But during our discussion of the Strategic Defence Review, Steve, you were trying to, you know, keep the troops in order.

There was a lot of sedition in the ranks.

We were very badly behaved.

We've all been court-martialed in between recording episode one and episode two.

But there was – because we were so rowdy, essentially, there was a bit of any other business

from the defence discussion that we wanted to clear up.

And Ian, obviously, it's your mastermind topic.

Deference policy.

Who dear.

What is it that before things got out of control, you wanted to tell us about the defence

review?
