Uh, Alex.

So yeah, uh, you know, there's, there's, there's quite, uh, there's quite a lot in there that, you know, uh, I, I don't necessarily disagree with, but there's quite a lot obviously in terms of our record in government that particularly I, I, I would take issue with.

Um, you know, there's, there's certainly challenges in things like, um, in the PISA scores in education.

That's something that we're looking at reforming, and I'm, I'm, um, on the Public Service Reform Committee in the Parliament, and you'll know John Swinney as, as first minister has, has really laid down the gauntlet in terms of the challenges to the public sector.

And that's something that is not unique in any way, shape, or form, as you'll know, to Scotland.

That is something, aging population.

There's a whole host of demographic issues that put pressure on countries, um, across Europe, um, and the rest of the world on that front.

We'll come back to it in due course." I just wondered how you evaluate that strategy from the First Minister of Wales, the leader of Plaid Cymru.

And Alex, this is a tractor, you've been teasing me about this for a long time, because you and your wife Gina bought this,

what, about a dozen years ago? I was willing to buy it because the landowner that my dad farmed for for years treated him like a son, and this was his brother-in-law's tractor.

When we got it home, fixed it, restored it all, we spent the most money on this tractor of any tractor we've ever done.

We've redone a lot of different tractors.

People that have followed me on social media have seen them.

This thing's kind of over the top.

This is

just...

Tell us about the sale.

I've never turned down so many pieces of equipment for an auction as I did this.

We want, we had a two and a half hour window to put this in during the show.

And we want to, we didn't take a lot of parts.

We did just a little bit for filler.

And then we took an estate that generated some stuff that probably is a little low in port.

And then after that, we go into full on collector tractors and I lined it up so that we'll see how close to right I am.

Right.

And, you know, the sound quality from these helmet cams isn't great, but as you'll hear, we hung on every word, especially things like super strong, safe, tested, and hanging on.

We have an aluminum trolley that's running along these rails.

It's super strong.

It has two points of attachment, one on the front.

This big black rope is going to be right in front of you the whole time.

So you're going to be holding on to this if you want to hold on to anything.

On the back, we have this SRL, which kind of works like a seatbelt if you trip or anything.

I'm going to play you some of that moment.
