  • BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts.

  • Well,

  • I'm glad you could all make it for this episode

  • because lots of our colleagues who cover politics for the newspaper,

  • as known as The Lobby,

  • were sent to the wrong Jaguar Land Rover today to see the Prime Minister talking to Donald Trump.

  • Yeah.

  • There was a little bit of a postcode mix-up, which made me think,
