The Newsagents podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity.

This is a global player original podcast. So you'll be pleased to hear that I'm in my natural home.

I'm sat at a football stadium in the home of Swindon Town FC and as I've always said you know as far as

I'm concerned the Robbins are the best team going but don't worry you haven't accidentally

tuned into the wrong podcast or entered a parallel world or I'm a football commentator

this podcast will not be full of my thoughts on how Swindon are doing or football generally because

frankly it wouldn't fill a whole podcast. Instead we're here because over the last two weeks,

obviously they've been a tumultuous period in British politics and we're that news agents,

we've lived it. We've breathed it every day at the party conferences first in Liverpool,

then in Birmingham.

But we've been with the politicians and with other political journalists,

and we wanted to just get an insight into how all of this tumult has fed through in terms of who really matter, the voters.

And don't worry, this isn't going to be a series of voxpops outside of a dusty train station,

but instead we've just come out, emerged from a focus group, a representative focus group of the voters

of Swindon, South. Very marginal constituency historically. Sort of place where the next general election

is going to be four and won and lost. And the results were completely fascinating,

both for Liz Truss, for Kirstama, for the Conservatives and for Labour, but also perhaps

most worryingly of all, in terms of the health of our democracy. It's Lewis here. This is
