Nish and Coco bring you a hot off-the-press special look at the announcement of a UK general election.
On Wednesday 22nd May - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the next general election will be on Thursday 4th July 2024. It appeared to be a sudden decision that surprised even his own Conservative MPs. But this announcement brings a whole host of questions with it; what key issues will this election be fought on? Is the timing helpful to any party in particular? How will Sunak fare under the microscope? To answer those and many more - friend of the show Liz Bates makes an eager return. Alongside Nish and Coco - Liz discusses what drove Sunak to this announcement and whether Keir Starmer got something of a headstart on his campaign.
There’s also discussion of how other parties might fare in this race from Lib Dems to the SNPs - while Nish and Coco interview Adrian Ramsay, co-leader of the Green Party.
