Aid Thompsin & Other Disappointments

My name is Aid. I used to do Standup. Then I had two kids. The End. Between parenthood and the pandemic, I"m finding pretty much the only way to have a social interaction with people is to literally *book in a conversation with them* (and market it as a podcast). Every guest is going to be real upset when they realise I"m not even recording them, i"m just incredibly lonely.

Thoughts & Prayers and best wishes to all affected and absolutely no celebrations whatsoever. ALSO: Rachel Reeves gives a speech. She says some WORDS. But what are her actual OPTIONS?
