Speaker 1: at three am most mornings. But all the time I
Speaker 1: was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further than

Speaker 1: the ideas behind it, to spend more time with the
Speaker 1: people shaping our world. And that's what I'm doing here
Speaker 1: on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with people like,
Speaker 1: in terms of political spending, I'm going to do a
Speaker 1: lot less in the future, and why is that? I
Speaker 1: think I've done enough. Prime Minister Keir Starmer recognizing of
Speaker 1: Palestinian state was in your manifesto. Do you want to
Speaker 1: be the British Prime Minister who delivers that? I'm clear
Speaker 1: on our manifesto was clear about our position on recognition
Speaker 1: cultural figures like Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are writing
Speaker 1: about that world of the super rich again, and there's
Speaker 1: a sorry. Well I wondered why I believe I'm doing
Speaker 1: it beause I'm interested in the power, not the money.
Speaker 1: And Shonda Rhymes, how did you feel about Bridgerton being
Speaker 1: described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as woke.
