Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me, Steve Richards.

Thank you so much for tuning in.

And I hope over the last few weeks you've enjoyed our summer bonus specials where we've plunged the vault of

specials in the Patreon version of rock and roll politics and yeah i've had a lot of feedback actually

about the one on the 1992 election and it became a theme one of the themes for a show at the Edinburgh Festival

is this 1992 and I argued then, as I think I did in the bonus podcast, that there are very

few parallels, if any, with 1992 and yet if the Labour leadership fear it could be 1992, it becomes a sort of self-fulfilling

prophecy.

But yeah, very interesting emails in response to that and on Twitter.

And yeah, the Enoch Powell from the Troublemakers series.

And next week, as we move into September, I'll announce the new series for Patreon.

Anyway, for those of you who attended the rock and roll politics live shows in Edinburgh,

thanks so much for coming along.

I have to say, I've been doing these shows now for nine years at the Edinburgh Festival.

These were the best attended, many of them

sold out or virtually sold out, and so engaged. And I learned a lot, and I'll be reflecting on some of

the people I spoke to, senior politicians, members of the audience, members of our rock and roll politics

cooperative who were up there. Yeah, on that very front,

the idea for the next Patreon series of bonus podcasts came from Stuart Grant, one of our

cooperative who was up in Edinburgh, gave me a great idea. Stuart is one of our barometer listeners,

voted Tory in December 2019, is available to vote Labor,

but he's not there yet.
