How Clacton Wasn't The Victory Farage Needed

Nigel Farage has seen off along list of novelty candidates to increase his majority in the Clacton by-election. The Reform UK leader says it's a resounding victory, but over whom? And if it was, why wasn't he been out trumpeting the result? The political masterminds (well, most of them) return from their summer break to explain what the outcome means for the general election, and whether the 'Burnham Bounce' has actually been a bit flat. Send your questions, comments and voicenotes to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk. The podcast will be back on September 3. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
