This is a Global Player Original podcast. I'm going to start off with an apology because although you can't see me, Emily Thornberry can.

And she will have noticed if she's got her contact lenses in that I'm looking a bit her suit

today because I've got my operation tomorrow and the hospital told me that I wasn't allowed to

shave for three days before the operation and I said well why why on earth not and they said well

in case you nick yourself shaving and there's an infection,

and then we couldn't do the operation.

So apologies for my rather swarthy look today, Emily.

Did you not hear any of that?

I did.

Well, you were supposed to respond to it.

Oh, sorry?

That's the way the podcast works.
