I so enjoyed the David Davis interview. Great podcast. Thought he was more than a match for both of you and won the Brexit discussion comfortably. Rory seemed really uncomfortable but made for enjoyable listening. I have never been a fan of David before but he gained my respect for the way he handled himself and hadn’t realised he came from such a humble background. More of the same please!
