Hit by a cost-of-living crisis and increasing polarization, UK politics has been in a state of turmoil for quite some time. With the latest prime minister, Keir Starmer, resigning on the 22nd of June and emerging parties like Reform UK and the Greens challenging the status quo of the UK's two-party system, we currently stand at a crossroads regarding how the political and electoral system of the UK will develop.

In this episode, Shonah and Iván invite Dr. Leonardo Carella of the Department of Government to talk about the most recent developments in British politics, from the resignation of Keir Starmer and the prospects for the Labour Party under a new PM to the rise of Reform UK and the role of immigration.
