currently suspended from the Labour Party for voting against the government over the two-child benefit cap, standing up for the thousands of people who took to their computers across the country and missed out on tickets to Oasis over the weekend. Yes. Did you get tickets? No. I'm not really an Oasis person. Is that because you're a Blair person? No. I'm not really a blur person.

I'm not really a Britpop person. I'm not really a person. I am a sort of Taylor Swift fan, to be quite honest.

I didn't realise there were quite so many fans, actually. I know a lot of people who applied for Oasis tickets, tried to get Oasis tickets, and I sort of thought, you've never mentioned them before. Like, where's this come from?

But no, I mean, it was quite extraordinary. So, you know, for anyone that didn't get swept up in it, it was a bit of a nightmare. There were long digital queue times of up to 10 hours. People telling me they literally couldn't leave their computer all day.

And when people got to the front of the queue, some fans were faced with prices of up to sort of 350, 400 pounds, 200 more than the 150 they were originally listed at. Wow.

I get the first. OK, cool. I do know that much. OK, great. Yeah. She certainly doesn't want any bad blood on this, there you are. Okay, yes, I see what's happening. Lisa Nandy is Culture Secretary, right? So this is very much her domain, you know, and every new Secretary of State wants to stamp their political stamp on these things. Do you think it's going to change anything?

Well, they've sort of made a big point about this. So I imagine that they will look into this policy. And, you know, Lisa Nandy, I think she definitely wanted Oasis tickets. I'm not sure if she got them. Lucy Powell also, you know, quite a few of them have made statements about this. So I would imagine it's, you know, it's a free political point for the government, isn't it?

If they manage to do this, it's something that they can talk about. And yeah, if they can say they made ticket prices more accessible for people, then... then everything's fixed.

I think I feel like I'm getting some insights into you here, Zoe. I don't want to admit this, but Paramore was actually the support act when I went to see Taylor Swift's Iris talk. I'm talking about Taylor Swift way too much. I'm not that much of a super fan. But yeah, no, you're right. Starmer's been selling a very kind of cold, sombre gloom to us at the minute.
