Welcome back to The Politics Debrief - a new weekly podcast which explains, discusses, and debates the political news stories that matter to you.

In this penultimate general election debrief, Sam and Eve analyse Wednesday night's BBC debate between Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak. Who was the winner? Will it have swayed any voters? Did they actually say anything we hadn't heard before?

They also give their take on the betting scandal and whether this will have an impact on Conservative and Labour voters so close to polling day...

Welcome to The Politics Debrief - a new weekly podcast which explains, discusses, and debates the political news stories that matter to you.

In this special hour-long debrief, Sam, Eve, and Thom examine the first month of the General Election campaign.

Will the latest scandal to hit the Tories send them into electoral oblivion? Should Keir Starmer have been bolder with Labour's manifesto? And what stunts might Ed Davey's team have up their sleeves for the final two weeks of the campaign?

Plus... the return of Nigel Farage, a potential change in fortunes for the Green Party, and the trio make their predictions for the final result.
