Emergency election special - Labour landslide unpicked
Manage episode 427336022 series 1371357
In a General Election special recorded just as the final results rolled in on Friday morning, the PoliticsHome team of Alain Tolhurst, Caitlin Doherty and Tom Scotson dissects a historic victory for the Labour party, after an extraordinary night saw Keir Starmer swept to power on an enormous majority, and the 14 years of Tory government ebbed away as Rishi Sunak exited Downing Street after the Conservatives suffered their worst defeat in their history. We also hear for the final time from our Election Diaries project as voters in swing seats react to the result, but the episode starts by pulling back the curtain of what it’s like covering a general election, with an election night diary of audio recorded throughout the evening and into the early hours in the newsroom featuring colleagues Adam Payne and Zoe Crowther, as well as friend of the pod Henry Hill from ConservativeHome, about how the sausage is made as we cover a historic night.
Presented by Alain Tolhurst, and produced by Lulu Goad for Podot
