Party Games

Brexit Day has arrived — we look back at the rows of the last 4 years, and the likely rows of the next 11 months. Plus Labour’s really helpful advice to defeated election candidates, the coming Cabinet reshuffle and John Bercow’s brief period of silence is sadly over.

Labour’s leadership rivals are competing with each other to say nice things about Jeremy Corbyn. Which seems odd, given he’s just led them to a catastrophic election defeat. Plus, we give you a shopping list for the perfect Brexit Day party, ponder the Dad’s Army style celebrations so many Brexiteers are desperate for, and wonder if anyone gave any rational thought to the idea of moving the House of Lords to York.

Labour’s leadership rivals set out their plans — but some candidates don’t seem to think Jeremy Corbyn did very much wrong — other than leading them to their worst performance in almost a century, obviously. We assess the first few days of the campaign. Plus a big test for Boris Johnson as the US squares up to Iran, and can Dominic Cummings find any misfits even weirder than he is?

Labour’s civil war continues, as the first leadership candidates emerge. But will they look beyond the party members, to the millions of voters they’ll need to persuade to get back into power. Plus, Boris Johnson ties his own hands in trade talks, and we look back at a ridiculously busy year. More at twitter.com/partygamespod and twitter.com/paulosbourne

Boris Johnson always wanted to be world king — now he is. We weigh up the implications of the Tory landslide election victory, and the catastrophic defeat for Jeremy Corbyn. Can Labour ever find its way back? And what about the leaderless Lib Dems? All this, and a constitutional crisis in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It’s nearly over. The Christmas election no-one wanted staggers to a conclusion. Can anything stop Boris Johnson’s march to a Commons majority? Could we see Jeremy Corbyn pull off another surprise result? We run through the final days of the campaign, and look ahead to the likely highlights of election night.

A week left until polling day, and Boris Johnson is accused of politicising tragedy for electoral gain. Why did the Prime Minister ignore pleas from the father of one victim of the London Bridge attack? Plus the three things that could still make a difference to the result, why Labour’s struggled to repeat the success of the 2017 campaign, and why Michael Gove waded into a rap battle with Stormzy. Or is that crap battle? More at twitter.com/partygamespod and twitter.com/paulosbourne

We try to answer your big election questions — not just about Brexit either. Plus the perils of “whataboutery”, and we hear from a former Green Party candidate turned Lib Dem supporter, who’s pounding the streets in support of former Tory Dominic Grieve.

The manifestos are out, and the good news is we’ve read them, saving you the bother. You were going to read them, weren’t you? We look over the Labour, Lib Dem and Green plans for the next five years, as well as trying to figure out who won the first big debate of the campaign: Johnson, Corbyn, or that guy in the audience who told them both off.

Is Nigel Farage already bored of the Brexit Election? He pulls his candidates from half the country, claims he’s helping Boris Johnson white risking the Tories’ hopes of winning a majority. We try to make sense of what’s going on. Plus how the floods made it even harder for Johnson to take the Tories into previously hostile territory in the north and midlands. And we definitively answer the question of how to make tea, something it appears is beyond the Prime Minister. More at twitter.com/partygamespod and twitter.com/paulosbourne
