Feudal Future Podcast: British Elections—European Populism and Its Impact on the UK

Labour's unexpected triumph and the Conservative Party’s dramatic collapse signal a seismic shift in British politics. Join us as Tom Slater, editor of Spiked, dissects the election results, revealing how Labour managed to capture victory with just 34% of the vote and the implications of the Conservative Party's loss to the right-wing Reform Party. We also draw fascinating parallels with France's left-wing surge led by Jean Mélenchon's coalition, shedding light on the broader European trend of establishment parties banding together against populist movements.
