    Election ’24: Three Liars on a Shirt

    Election ’24: Three Liars on a Shirt

    • Watch our Election Night Live Special on Zoom when you back us on Patreon.
    The manifestos are out (OK, not everyone’s lying but we couldn’t resist the headline). What’s in Labour’s, what’s not and what’s cutting through for ‘normal people’? Does it matters what the Tories offer? And what the Farage is in Reform UK on about? Plus, step away from the Britain Elects Twitter… are we over-polling this election? And are polls now setting the agenda rather than telling us what the agenda is? Listen up for all that plus this week’s Heroes and Villains.
    Presented by Alex Andreou with Marie le Conte, Rafael Behr and Ava Santini. Audio production by Alex Rees, yes Alex Rees. Theme music by Cornershop. Managing Editor: Jacob Jarvis. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. OH GOD, WHAT NOW? is a Podmasters production.

    #OhGodWhatElse?: No Sky Thinking – with Andrew, Hannah, Yasmeen and Jarv

    OGWE Live Audio is here… In our latest monthly (ish) live Zoom, we talked about our favourite deepcut election moments so far, poor Sunak’s lack of channels, the ethics of milkshaking, and answered a selection of your questions.

    Election Bonus: The Shakespearean Tragedy of Rishi Sunak – with guest Steve Richards

    Election Bonus: The Shakespearean Tragedy of Rishi Sunak – with guest Steve Richards

    Politics podcast presenter Steve Richards talks to Jacob Jarvis about the Shakespearean downfall of Rishi Sunak, the gilded youth who finds he’s not up to this titanic task. Plus: Is appearing as brutal as the Conservatives the right strategy for Labour? The weakness of Starmer’s language. And the patronising futility of TV debates. 
    • “Sunak has tried on so many guises, he doesn’t know who he is now.” 
    • “In Grimsby Sunak just looked crushed… It must be tormenting him that he’s leading his party towards doom.” 
    • “When we see people as losers, everything we see of them reinforces that.”

    Election ‘24: No Dish Rish

    Election ‘24: No Dish Rish

    Sky-deprived youngster Rishi Sunak announced the Tory manifesto at Silverstone on Tuesday, claiming that the UK economy “is turning a corner”. Even if it is (it’s not), is his manifesto in pole position or does it simply have 4 flat tyres? And as Ed Davey hops on another rollercoaster, whose election campaign is going well and who’s just taking us for a ride? Former Labour Party advisor and co-author of Punch & Judy Politics, Tom Hamilton, joins the panel to discuss all of that. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, the European elections paid off well for the far-right. How would a Starmer centre-left government deal with a Europe veering off in the other direction?

    Saving Private Lyin’

    Saving Private Lyin’

    Rishi Sunak’s gaffe over last week’s D-Day memorial service may not be the last big event he leaves early. How badly will this impact his election hopes? Could he even quit the race? Plus, what did we learn from the seven-way second election debate, apart from how much hairspray Penny Mordaunt can use in one go? Join the panel for all that plus this week’s heroes and villains.

    Election ’24: The UK Farage Revival

    Election ’24: The UK Farage Revival

    Chief milkshake-wearer and wannabe MP Nigel Farage is making the Tories think hard. Has his decision to run trapped Sunak and his party? Plus, Labour is likely to win in July, but it’s a party full of unknown candidates. Who should you be getting familiar with? And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, what’s the state of patriotism today?
