So my challenge for our panel is to record the News Quiz's voice note to the nation.

So we've got one minute, four panellists, so 15 seconds each.

Right, start the clock.

Kiri?

There we go.

Well, that voice note is winging its way to Sajid Javid as we speak.

And this whole national conversation project to discuss exactly what we are as a nation in the post-Brexit era somewhat ignores the fact that one of the cast-iron non-negotiables of what true Britishness is that we do not like awkward conversations.

So this is flawed from the very start.

In fact, research shows that around half of people in this country feel uncomfortable discussing politics and immigration with their partners.

And the other half is those people's partners banging on about politics and immigration.

Well, at the end of that round, it's now ten to Kiri and Chloe and eight to Stephen and Robin.

Thank you.

Right, for our final round, we're looking at things that are too expensive.

So, Kiri and Chloe, which is the new story?

Which is the children's book?

Heidi and the Golden Ghost Train?

Or Please Don't Touch My Tomato?

One is a genuine kids' book, one is a new story.

That is the children's book.

Correct, yes.
