Marc is joined by Ed Campbell of PoliticsJOE for a rundown of the upcoming UK general election following last week's surprise announcement from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. They discuss the Tories' plan to introduce national service for 18 year-olds, consider the prospect of a Keir Starmer Labour government (with various football analogies on Marc's part) and weigh up how new First Minister John Swinney's SNP and the various other parties will fare at the ballot box come July. Plus, Ed discusses his work as a political journalist - travelling around the country to observe the views and crumbling high-streets of various British towns, chasing soundbites from Jacob Rees-Mogg other political figures, and the sobering conditions he faced when visiting a refugee camp in Calais - as well as explaining why he regrets joking he got his media role as the result of being the son of another political-podcasting Campbell.
