General Election vs Euro 2024

What's this? A newsletter on a Monday?! Well, I'm trying out a new timeline, so I hope you like it. I am also publishing more podcasts per week. Make sure you check out part one and part two of the fantastic conversation I had with Dan Kennedy and Ellen Clegg. Euros Beat the ElectionI was at the Podcast Show London, looking forward to a summer of sport… then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a General Election. This came as a surprise to media and civilians alike. Most people had expected polling day to be later in the year, around October or November. (Although not the Conservatives who allegedly used inside information to place bets on the date of the vote.) Media outlets have unexpectedly found themselves with a difficult balance to strike. BBC Radio 5Live has declared itself the “home” of the Euros and General Election. TalkSport is sending election watchers to sister stations TalkRadio and Times Radio. On some nights, one TV channel has broadcast a leaders’ debate, while another shows a game. If you are interested in the UK General Election, check out the House of Comments podcast I co-present with Emma Burnell. If you subscribe using Patreon you get extra episodes, the paid version of this newsletter and Emma's newsletter for £5 a month. Read the full version of this newsletter with a paid subscription.
