Podcast of Ideas: General Election special, episode 2
The team discuss the state of the parties in the run-up to 8 June.
As the UK general election gets into full swing, Adam Rawcliffe is joined by Geoff Kidder, Izzy Lyons and Fraser Myers to talk about the latest developments.
Are the local election results any guide to how the country will vote on 8 June? Why are the Conservatives riding high in the polls? Can the Labour Party - or Jeremy Corbyn at least - survive a heavy defeat? And what should we make of the ‘progressive alliance’ of Labour, Lib Dems, Greens and Scottish Nationalists? Does it amount to anything and can it stop the Tories?
