The Week... We try to predict all of 2024
Listen now
Description
Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News's Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, usually guide us through their predictions of how British politics will play out over the next seven days, but in this episode they attempt to predict an entire year... a year that's set to be the planet's biggest ever for elections. They start with the likely British election – looking at how Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer might play their cards, with predictions on the election date and what might happen with the Tory leadership. Plus, Jack and Sam look at elections in the US, Taiwan, and across Europe – and how they might impact domestic politics. And some familiar voices lend their predictions too; including Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey, the SNP's Stephen Flynn, Sky News's Kay Burley, and Politico's Rosa Prince.
