Manage episode 321103070 series 2912774
Ben Walker is the co-founder of political polling aggregtor Britiain Elects and a data journalist for the New Statesman (my co-worker, how exciting). He joins me on the Dutiful Future podcast today to discuss Boris Johnson's current survival as Prime Minister, the Labour party's current polling lead and what is behind Ben Walker's political polling passion.
With Ben Walker we also explore who could be the next Prime Minister, will Boris Johnson survive to see another general election, or will Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss or any other names push him out... How solid is Keir Starmer's current polling lead? All this and more, discussed.
