Rory Stewart

Westminster Council was lost in 2022.

And broadly speaking, if you go into that polling station, you would have felt that you were going back to 1980s.

It was a very, very nice, quiet, respectable, conservative lady.

I don't quite want to call her blue rinse, standing there politely with her piece of paper.

I don't tell you who I voted for.

Why not?

No, I don't tell you who I voted for.

Probably because I'm going to ruin your whole podcast if I start revealing the fact that I actually tend to move my vote around more than you'd like to hear.

More than I do.

But...

What I would say is that that kind of middle of the road remain voting pro-business Tory who went over to Labour in the general election will have been tempted to come back towards the Tories.

And certainly will not be excited by Labour.

I'm not going to vote Reform.

Yeah.

And I've actually got some polling in our WhatsApp group coming in here.

All right.

So coming in our polling.

Yeah, so Andy Burnham, 72%, Angela Rayner, 16%, Wes Streeting, 11%.

Remember, this is the people who happen to be watching our podcast.

Who's most likely to win a general election?
