Ep.246: UK Election Preview with John McTernan

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by former Political Secretary for former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, John McTernan. John calls in from London to analyse the UK election campaign, including Tory PM Rishi Sunak’s surprise snap election and his strategic missteps following the announcement, the making of Keir Starmer, and Labour‘s path to victory and where they will bag the 121 seats required to pull off the biggest swing to Labour since the 1997 Tony Blair landslide.This episode is dedicated to Cecilia Donnelly.  The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
