As the UK General Election campaign gets properly underway, we unveil exciting changes to the podcast! Joining Nigel Fletcher as our new co-host is political commentator and comedian Sarah Southern, who in her previous career was a key aide to David Cameron during the 2010 General Election (the last time a Leader of the Opposition made the transition to government).

From now until polling day on 4th July, Nigel and Sarah will draw on their experience to analyse the latest campaign developments every Tuesday and Friday, joined by occasional special guests. In this episode they discuss the election, review the party leaders' first campaigning events, and remember how the Conservatives tried to sabotage Gordon Brown's election announcement.
