Election '24: Electric Landslide
According to Grant Shapps, Labour is in danger of winning a “supermajority” - which means literally nothing in British politics. We prefer ‘mega-landslide’, but realistically what would a win as big as is projected mean for British politics? Plus, no one is talking about Brexit in this election cycle, even Nigel Farage – WHY?! And in the Extra Bit for subscribers when it comes to the broadcast media, who’s on cue with election coverage and who just hasn’t got a clue?

Election ’24 Update – Stella Creasy on Labour’s tightrope walk
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.
Don’t miss our Election Night Live Show, streaming on Zoom for Patreon backers.
• “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.”

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.”
