Welcome back Paddy.
I've been away for 10 days.
Did anything happen?
Yes.
A lot.
It's just that is what the news cycle is like,
isn't it?
Every time you think it's bad, then it gets worse.
Yeah.
And we spent most of the week talking about Rachel Reeves and her big plans for the economy and for public spending,
spending oodles and oodles and oodles of extra cash on the NHS and whether or not her sums add up.
And then all of a sudden along comes yet another crisis moment far away.
This time attacks Israel on Iran then Iranian retaliation and of course in a region that is already incredibly tense.
The link to Rachel Reeves being that the oil prices soared Oil means a lot to our economy.
Rising oil price means rising inflation normally.
So we'll unpack what's happening in the Middle East and what might happen here at home in Saturday's newscast.
Newscast.
Newscast from the BBC.
He has just compared me to the Fat Controller.
Did I say that?
