Labour's Landslide Shows Britain is Movi...

About this episode

Last Friday, British voters turned sharply against the Tories. Left-wing parties now control the overwhelming majority of Parliament, collectively holding nearly 500 of the 650 seats in Westminster. Labour secured a stunning 421 seats and Keir Starmer is our new prime minister. Meantime, the Tories secured just 121 seats—their worst result since 1761. 

But what if I told you all of this represents Britain moving further to the right?
