The UK’s 2024 Election

In the 2024 UK general election, the Conservative Party suffered a historic defeat to Labour. How did this become possible despite a fragmented electorate and low voter turnout? And what role did AI and social media play in the campaign? 

These questions, along with concerns about the future of political communication and governance in the UK, are addressed by the hosts of this first podcast episode, Dr. Jamie Ranger and Dr. Umer Jan.

They discuss them with the featured guests: Niamh Cashell, a Politics PhD candidate at the University of Manchester, and Oly Durose, a political writer and media communications officer for the former Labour Party leader.
