Summary

It's the podcast you've been waiting for as Mike and Matt deliver all the fall out to the 2019 General Election. From Labour's poor performance, to a Boris Johnson run United Kingdom, to the countdown to Brexit - it's all in here. The pair also explain their separate encounters with Rupert Murdoch...one of which was far more dramatic than it probably should have been.
