Description

With just two days to go until polling day, we're joined by special guest and podcast royalty, former Labour Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. We talk about campaigning, civility, what it's like to win in a landslide election... and what it's like to lose in the glare of publicity.

Nigel and Sarah also catch up with Ed Davey's latest stunt, hear which former Prime Ministers have been caught on the doorsteps, and discuss Elton John's endorsement of Keir Starmer. Plus, have the Conservatives finally managed a genuinely good tweet?

Lastly, we take another trip back to 1997, where we unexpectedly encounter the Centre for Opposition Studies' chair (our boss), wrestling with the Tory Chicken...
