Helen Lewis

Hello and welcome to another episode of Page 94.

My name is Helen Lewis and I'm filling in for Andrew Hunter-Murray who has this week sadly failed to develop vetting.

I'm in the Private Eye studio with Adam McQueen in Hislop and Sabah Salman, editor of Rotten Burrows.

The local elections are coming up and it's going to be a splintering, I guess, of Britain as people vote against Labour and the Tories where they're still standing.

What does the picture look like?

Because that is when Nigel Farage of Reform launched his campaign.

So he must be pretty confident of winning it or that would be quite embarrassing.

Why has Nigel Farage got better taste in music than me?

Nigel, I was going to say, coming into Right Said Fred.

But unfortunately, that's my brain has supplied that because Nigel Farage does often sing along to I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred.

Although I did notice, if you read the Sunday Times profile of the 19-year-old reform council leader, he did manage to fight off everyone else to have a lower rate of council tax.

I want to ask you, can you remember what it is that he keeps in his office?

So George Finch is in Warwickshire.

I really should clarify on the bear.

I thought teddy bear.

Then I saw the photo.

No, it's about five foot tall.

It's a taxidermied bear.

Yeah, bear and ragged stuff.

Let's move on to the point in Sunderland.
