Description

Today, we look at a billionaire former donor to the Conservative Party who has told Chris Mason he will vote Labour for the first time in his life.

John Caudwell, the entrepreneur businessman who founded Phones 4U gave the Tories half a million pounds before the last general election. Caudwell has told Chris that Labour have undergone a “transformation” and that Rishi Sunak is an “absolute dud” in an exclusive interview.

And Marianna is back in the studio to talk about the UK Undercover Voters and the political ads they’ve been seeing on their social media feeds.
