Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me, Steve Richards. Thank you very much for

tuning in wherever you are. Not a lot has happened, has it, since we last gathered in the rock and roll

politics cooperative for last week's podcast. No, hardly anything at all. So anyway, we've got to make

sense of all the, that's my attempt at a sort of pathetic,

predictable joke. We've got to make sense of it all before that, a few notices. And after my

attempt to make sense of some of it, some brilliant questions from you, they've been kind of

pouring in. Some, to be honest, they were brilliant,

but updated, you know, when Angela Rainer was sort of hanging on and then was gone by last Friday.

So anyway, I'm going to read the more recent in relation to the dramas being played out now,

but they've all been brilliant. So thank you. For new listeners, you're now part of the never-ending discussion debate in the Rock and Roll Politics Cooperative.

So first of all, a notice for the next live show at King's Place in London, the main concert hall there.

It's on Thursday, September the 25th, which is the week of the Labour Party

Conference. The Labour Party Conference will have just ended and then we gather together at King's

Place. So if you can't make the conference, this is much better. For a start, it's much more fun,

our live events.

So do come along.

It's really well-timed because I think quite a lot will go on that week.

And, of course, a lot will be going on before that week.

So it's Thursday, September the 25th. I can't think of a better timed live show. So yeah, tickets on the King's Place

website, probably in the link with the blurb for this podcast. The other thing, and it's going to

relate a bit to my reflections on recent days, my biography of Tony Blair in the series of Prime Minister's post-war

is out this Thursday. And the more I think about it, that too is quite good timing.
