View descriptionShare

After 14 years of a Conservative government, Labour leader Keir Starmer has led the party to victory in the UK, becoming the new prime minister. Political journalist, Vincent McAviney, joins Georgina Godwin to talk about reporting on election night, as well as the elections in France, Iran and the US, and whether we say the word “like” too much. Plus: Monocle’s Gunnar Gronlid reflects on the future of the animation industry with award-winning directors Adam Elliot and James A Castillo, and artist Tayo Irvine Hendrix talks about the debut of her ‘Heartbeat’ exhibition at the black-tie Henley Festival.
