  • Hello, it's Friday,

  • which means it's nearly the end of another very momentous week in British politics.

  • So as usual, on a Friday,

  • I've got to gather Lots of friends of Newscast to have a chat about what we've learned this week and to dig into some of the news stories to see

  • if there's little nuggets.

  • Maybe we didn't notice at the time,

  • but which might literally flower into something more important down the line.

  • So that's what you're going to hear now in this episode of Newscast.

  • Hello, it's Adam in the Newscast Studio.

  • And it's Chris in the Newscast Studio.

  • And it's Vicky in the Newscast Studio.

  • And it's also Joe in the Newscast Studio.

  • And we're surrounded by photos of other people who are occasionally on Newscast but aren't here today,

  • just so we can remember them.

  • Also, I feel like hovering above us all.

  • is Andy Burnham, like his spirit of the mayor of Greater Manchester.

  • That's what they make your daddy straight as well.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, because they like him to not be around anymore.

  • And we will talk about that in a minute.
