The Labour party languish in the General Election polls – does Jeremy Corbyn have what it takes to beat Boris Johnson?
It’s the 31st of October and we haven’t left the EU. But Boris Johnson is not ‘dead in a ditch’. In fact despite Brexit delays the Conservative government are still far ahead in the General Election polls – a scary Halloween prospect for Jeremy Corbyn. Can the Labour Party make up enough ground before December the 12th to win? Our political editor Joe Murphy’s been going through the figures from the Evening Standard’s own poll and joins The Leader podcast from his Westminster office. Also: when the occupant of an unassuming apartment in Notting Hill died, he left behind an extraordinary collection of his own art. Now the owners of that building want to clear it out and move someone else in. We speak to our Arts and Features writer Melanie McDonagh about what the house is like, and why we think they should leave it alone. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
