Summary
T-3 days until polls open and if England’s efforts in the Euros are anything to go by, there’s no predicting what could happen between now and then… at least, that seems to be what Rishi Sunak is hoping. Ed Balls and George Osborne aren’t so sure. As final Party Political Broadcasts go out and an ever-more-desperate message comes from Tory HQ, is it time to call Sunak’s early election a failure?
And as electoral activity kicks off in France, and debates begin in the US, what does the International political situation mean for an incoming government on the world stage?
There is some explicit language in this episode.
