Pod Save the UK · Are we stuck in never-ending political scandal? w/Ash Sarkar · 26 Feb 2026 podcast

I don't want to vote Labour because they blocked Andy Burnham from even throwing his hat in the ring as a candidate.

This all happening when the national conversation is dominated by Epstein.

You can see how the Greens are the beneficiary of that.

Now, on to Matt Goodwin and reform.

The most reform sympathetic bit of the constituency is,

is a smaller part of the constituency, right?

So that's a disadvantage that reform might be at, but you can't forget the national picture.

It's such an interesting by-election because it's a demonstration of the realities of multi-party politics, right?

No more two horse races.

And it's a microcosm of what we might be seeing in 2029.

Normally, you only send your party leader or your prime minister in particular out.

when you're absolutely confident of success because you don't want to have him associated with a loss.

So it's a way of trying to be like, we're really bullish about this.

And the other thing, don't forget, is that Labour increasingly, in order to get enough canvases out, is relying on its counsellors.

So it has fewer volunteers who are stepping up for it because the membership is clinically depressed.

So, you know, they're all at home, like in the blanket, just like turbo eating citalopram.

So they're having to get the councillors out, having the prime minister go to the constituencies way of doing that.

From having been a little bit up close to, and it was a council by election in this because my housemate is a green councillor, so declaring my biases, is that nobody really knows anything, right?

Everybody has partial bits of information from which they're trying to extrapolate a bigger picture, but everyone's scared and nobody's certain.

See, now you're thinking like a spad.
