Host Jack Blanchard takes a deep dive into the momentous U.K. general election of July 2024, which saw Labour sweep back into power after 14 years in opposition. Lifting the lid on a historic campaign are journalists Tim Ross and Rachel Wearmouth, whose new book — “Landslide: The Inside Story of the 2024 Election” — offers the most detailed account so far of a moment of generational change in British politics. Ross and Wearmouth take us inside the rival campaign teams and explain how all the crucial decisions were taken, from Rishi Sunak’s fateful choice to leave a D-Day commemoration service early to Keir Starmer’s famous “Ming vase” strategy that would ultimately secure Labour’s victory.
