| 0:24.7 | where we find ourselves in uncharted waters, |
| 0:27.8 | two of the politicians who have arguably featured most prominently on this program |
| 0:32.8 | over our years of chronicling together. |
| 0:36.0 | The largely self-inflicted national decline starting, |
| 0:40.3 | I suppose, in 2016 with that Brexit vote, reaching a culmination of sorts in 2019 with the 80-seat |
| 0:49.9 | majority delivered to Boris Johnson in part by Nigel Farage's decision to stand down candidates from whatever his |
