Peter Mannion, can you explain, please, why your party spin doctor has arrived entirely announced?
I would say it was an indication of how seriously our party is taking the allegations that we were...
Don't say it again!
...receiving donations from...
From a sweatshop labour company.
(to Stewart) Ooh! Did you prep him with this shit, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The last thing I said to him was go in there and bomb.
(chuckling) Well, it fucking worked. Usually, he comes across like, you know, just another third-rate Donald Sinden. But tonight, he's like a ventriloquist's dummy that's fucking falling to bits.
Yeah, it's really nice to see you without those veins in your temples throbbing.
'Cause you have really got your work cut out with him, haven't you? Look at the hair. You've got to do something. He's like fucking Swiss Toni.
Yeah. Well, this is radio, Malcolm, but it's great to be getting this straight from you. Thanks.
Look, do you guys have to make so much noise?
(to Janice) I don't know if they told you this on your training day, love, but this is fucking soundproofed, that, they can't hear you. I mean, we're like Ted Moult to them.
Look, can you please get out?
No. Actually, we -- we are entitled to be in here. That lot, they should all be in here. All the political advisors should be in here.
