The world is becoming increasingly complex and volatile.

How can we make sense of it all?

I'm Richard Engel.

And I'm Yalda Hakim.

And we're the top international correspondents at NBC News and Sky News.

And we present Sky News's latest podcast, The World.

Each week we'll cut through the noise to guide you through the week's global events

and explain to you why, what happens out there

matters to you wherever you are. Listen now to the world with Richard Engel and me Yalda Hakim,

wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to the All-Out Politics Podcast. I'm Adam Bolton. Joining me this week are the Guardian columnist Polly Toinby, the Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester, an author of Brexit Land, Identity, Diversity and Reshaping of British Politics, Professor Rob Ford, and Sky's chief political correspondent John Craig,

who has been covering the Batley and Spend by election for us.

And so, for a second by-election running, the pundits were confounded. It turned out to be a famous victory, a labour hold.

I do hereby declare that Kim, Michelle, Ledbetter is duly elected.

The focus now is catching up on a bit of sleep, maybe having a few glasses of Fizz, and then there's lots to do.

And I think the campaign has highlighted that there's lots to do.

But I'm going to crack on with it, and I will do my very best to represent the whole of Batley and Spen as their new MP.

I'm absolutely delighted that the people of Batley and Spen have rejected division

and they've voted for hope.

Thank you very much, everybody.

Thank you.

So Kim Ledby to there, the new MP for Labour, of course the sister of Joe Cox,
