Summary

• Watch our Election Night Live Special on Zoom when you back us on Patreon. • Keep an eye out for daily editions Tue-Fri in the run-up to the Election. It’s Week Four sum-up time! There’s only 13 days to go and as the news worsens for the Conservatives their friendly papers are losing their minds. Guardian political sketchwriter John Crace takes Jacob Jarvis through the week’s highlights and many, many lowlights. Who would bet on an election date? Is “you backed Corbyn” the gotcha line the Tory press think it is? What’s Sunak’s exit strategy? And how will we come down from this epic schadenfreude binge? • “We often see Tetchy Rishi but in the debate he looked positively furious… Not a great look.” • “As far as I can tell, even Telegraph readers aren’t in line with Telegraph editorial… Even they are leaning Labour.” • “What we have here is a feeling of End of Days.” Support us on Patreon to get early access to all our live tickets plus mugs, t-shirts and more. Presented by Managing Editor Jacob Jarvis. Audio production by Alex Rees. Theme music by Cornershop. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.
