Carolyn and Peter reflect on the rise of violence in politics, the assassinations of Charlie Kirk, Melissa and Mark Hortman, helpful and unhelpful responses to such violence. (Apologies for the audio for the first segment, Peter forgot to record on our audio recorder so we had to fall back on the phone audio - lessons learnt!)

Carolyn gives an update on her 'Munro' bagging and Peter breathes a sigh of relief at the sacking of Peter Mandelson as the UK's Ambassador to the USA.
