UK Election with Henry Cooke

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 20 June 2024

With 14 days left until the UK goes to the polls it increasingly looks like the ruling Conservative Party will not only lose their hold on power after 14 years in charge, it looks like it could be a landslide for the Labour Party.

Henry Cooke is a former Chief Political reporter at Stuff, who is now based in the UK but still writes a political newsletter called Museum Street.

He's also keeping a close eye on the UK election and he speaks to Emile Donovan about how things are going, fewer than three weeks out from polling day.

In this combination of file pictures created in London on May 29, 2024, Britain's main opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer (L) speaks on the third day of the Scottish Labour Party Conference in Glasgow, Scotland on February 18, 2024 and Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (R) speaks during the Help To Grow campaign launch panel event at 10 Downing Street in London February 1, 2024. Britain's Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour opposition leader Keir Starmer will go head-to-head next Tuesday, June 4, in the first televised debate of the election campaign, broadcaster ITV announced Wednesday.
