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

Thanks so much for tuning in. You will know we've got even more to cram in in our time together

as a result of events happening, almost as I speak, a significant cabinet reshuffle from Rishi Sunak.

If it's okay with you, I will reflect on that very shortly. But before then, just a few notices for the Rock and Roll Politics Cooperative.

Thanks all of you who came to the Bridport Book Festival event on Friday night.

It was absolutely packed at their fantastic venue there.

And it was great to see some of you afterwards who told me you listened to the

podcast and are going to start emailing and joining our never-ending discussion on that front as

well. And I look forward to seeing some of you at the Derby Book Festival this coming Saturday.

Also coming up, the Rock and Roll Politics live show at the

Rope Tackle next Monday. This was the one postponed. This is the Shoreham, brilliant location,

because of the storms that then never were quite as intense as threatened. But anyway,

it's going on this Monday. And then the Rock and

Roll Politics Christmas special at King's Place on December the 18th, where we will look back at a

crazy year and dare to look ahead to the election year. And yeah, sorry about this. We've got lots of

notices. All of you who subscribe to

Patreon, first of all, thank you very much. And the bonus for November. So much is going on.

I have liaised with my gods at Podmasters. And we are arranging another live event for Patreon subscribers on November

the 23rd. This is where we can get together with a degree of intimacy and make sense of it all.

And if you want to take part, the link will be in the Patreon blurb and you just

need to sign up and then join us on November the 23rd, all the details on the Patreon site.

And for those of you listening in the Cooperative, subscribe to Patreon and you will be able to
