Hello it's Chris here and we're going to have a conversation about politics in 2025 and indeed in 2026 with two fellow political editors in a sec but first you might have heard the other day Vic set you a challenge to send me a question and then I had the challenge of actually having to Answer it.
And Claire has been in touch.
Good morning newscasts, says Claire.
I hope you're all well.
I've got a question for Chris.
I want to ask if you could have dinner with three people living or now dead, who would you choose?
For your information, mine would be Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela.
That'd be quite a bit of tea, wouldn't it, those three at the table alongside you, Claire?
I've listened for nearly 10 years in the days from when it was Brexitcast.
The show has evolved magnificently.
I love that idea of evolving magnificently.
Hopefully it will continue to evolve and magnificently.
Please keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Claire Blackford and Merry Christmas to you, Claire.
Well,
I'm going to give a very authentic answer to this on hopefully what is my final working day of 2025 and say that my cast list for a dinner party would be my family who I see far less of than I ought to.
because I'm spending all my time talking about politics.
It's probably not the answer you wanted.
You probably wanted me to pick some big figures from history and all the rest of it.
