Episode Exclusive: Nigel Farage's Desert Island Discs revealed

0:00 8:27

Canvassing in Makerfield continues at pace ahead of the by-election in two weeks time, so we dispatched Megan McElroy and James Heale to the north to report from the ground. They discuss each party’s ground game, why it looks like a Labour–Reform shoot-out, whether Restore will split the vote on the right and – most importantly – Nigel Farage’s Desert Island Discs.

This comes after revelations in Lord Ashcroft’s book claimed that Farage has effectively been banned from appearing on the programme, a story that has dominated the papers over the last 48 hours, evidencing the continued interest in brand Farage. James spoke with Nigel earlier this morning and can bring the Reform leader’s favourite tracks, book and luxury item exclusively to Coffee House Shots listeners.

Produced by Megan McElroy and Oscar Edmondson.
