  • From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is The Story.

  • I'm Luke Jones.

  • And I'm Manveen Rana.

  • Together at last.

  • You don't often get to do this.

  • Putting to bed the rumour that we are the same person.

  • Have we, though?

  • Nobody can see us.

  • Oh, good point.

  • Could have been very good, but full of mistakes.

  • We're not usually allowed in the studio together at the same time, but this is a rarity.

  • Because of the workload.

  • Because of the workload, because the news has been relentless.

  • There's been such an onslaught,

  • and so many of you have got in touch with questions about what's been happening.

  • The story at TheTimes.com.

  • Do feel free to drop us a line,

  • and we thought we'd take this opportunity to answer some of your questions.

  • We're going to be talking about ICE Immigration Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis in the US,

  • the psycho drama of Westminster defections and blocked Manchester mayors here in the UK,
