No postcard, again the moment has been missed, this update on 19th Oct. And in any case, I think he's doing in on purpose.

Mark Serwotka, General Secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union, DPol 14th Sep, 32 mins in.

#59 Ken Livingstone 3* OPs DPol

Ken Livingstone, 14th Sep, Daily politics, multiple occurrences.
"We had a Labour government that was in awe of the bankers. We didn't rebuild good jobs for ordinary people. We didn't build home that their kids can afford to rent or buy ...  Jeremy Corbyn has got a strategy that can lift us out of austerity without increasing borrowing or increasing taxes for ordinary people."
"People saw that a small elite had done very well, the bankers haved got back on their bonuses. Ordinary people are still struggling to make ends meet."

#58 20:48 R4X Michael Coveney

The R4Ex web site says,

How Dame Maggie Smith got the acting bug. Peter Firth reads Michael Coveney's biography of one Britain's best-loved actors.

It includes a passage on Alan Bennett's writing for the Dame,
"affectionate and wry on the everyday speech or ordinary people"

The likely candidate for the postcard would be Michael Coveney, but I probably won't bother.
