Host (Page 94, The Private Eye Podcast)

Number one, hello.

I saw a number four over here.

Oh, how come my dad hasn't won the private eye crossword yet?

Ooh, okay.

That was wonderful.

Thank you both for the fantastic consideration of your questions.

Let's go to number two here, please.

You've been disparaging and scathing about politicians.

Can you cheer us up a bit?

Tell us British politicians that you admire and are doing a good job, please.

I mean, I can name someone.

Yeah.

I mean, we haven't spoken much about the Lib Dems.

There's a politician who's recently elected called Mike Martin who's spent a lot of time in the army and now he's campaigning a lot about water.

So he's interested in third of the week stuff.

And, you know, the Lib Dems are filling a funny space in British politics in that they're not really filling it at the moment.

But...

They're potentially filling that space, and I think they're kind of weirdly filling a role that the Conservatives might have traditionally done.

When Kimmy Badenoch was trying to be rude about the Lib Dems, she said, oh, they may be good for fixing the church roof, but they're not really good for anything else.

Lots of people really, really, really want the church roof fixed.
