00:00Hello, my name is Alexander Brown, I'm Scotsman's Westminster Correspondent and I'm here at

00:04Market Road in North London, where the lobby journalists have just played the MPs in our

00:10annual crunch match. Perhaps the better thing to do, the number of MPs, many of them bottled

00:15it, we had two MPs, two peers and then lots of serious senior advisors and a few people

00:21who I think were ringers from semi-pro clubs. On a difficult day for the lobby and the journalism

00:34for, again, a former semi-pro ringer. It's a difficult place to come, but we move on

00:39from this, we've got a big vote later in Parliament, so maybe the MPs had better things to do,

00:45but it's been a tough one to get past for the political journalism, a tough one to get

00:49past for me personally, and yeah, we just move on and we get into welfare reforms coming
