Oh God, What Now‪?‬ Podmasters

In our latest Election update: If Labour are set for a massive majority, why are they still so cautious on policy? Labour’s Stella Creasy tells Andrew Harrison why the party refuses to over-promise – why Starmer won’t talk about rejoining the EU – where she stands on the controversial two-child benefit cap – plus Gaza, Sunak, Farage and how to get people believing in politics again.

• “I don’t want us to promise a moon on the stick. I want people to feel confident.”
• “The far right don’t offer you solutions. They offer you someone to blame.”
• “Every big project this Government has promoted hasn’t happened.”
• “We ripped up so much by leaving the EU… We cannot underestimate how damaged our reputation has been.”

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.
Polling on UK voters’ favourite takeaway.

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. If you missed Andrew, Hannah, Yasmeen and Jarv live, worry not – we’ve got recordings, with audio and video. Here’s the audio for your listening pleasure.

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.”

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?
