About this episode
Joining Liam in the cockpit this week for a very special extended interview is Professor Matthew Goodwin.
As the rocket blasts into a new political era with a Labour government at the helm, Matthew explains why he thinks Keir Starmer’s party could be unpopular very quickly, and debates with Liam how the Conservative Party could pull back a vital share of voters that they lost to Reform UK.
Our popular analyst also gives his take on the political antics happening across the pond, and why he thinks Donald Trump is in an especially strong position, more so after the assassination attempt on him.
There’s also time for co-pilot Halligan to have a brief burrow in the Planet Normal mailbag.
