  • BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts.

  • It's one year ago since Rishi Sunak, and Chris Mason for that matter,

  • got very wet in Downing Street when the election was being called.

  • Earlier today, I spoke with His Majesty the King to request the dissolution of Parliament.

  • The King has granted this request, and we will have a general election on the 4th of July.

  • What sort of has most surprised you about the intervening 364 days?

  • How long it took my suit to dry out.

  • And your underwear.

  • And that was it.

  • That was the main topic that day.

  • I was in possession as a result of this moment,

  • Leila and Faisal, of a newscast branded pair of pants.

  • Which is still rattling around in my drawer.

  • Anyway, if we look at a more kind of like substantive view of the last year.

  • My more substantive view would be what I think is one of the standout trends of the last 12 months in domestic British politics,

  • which is the rise and rise of Reform UK.

  • For that to have happened,

  • for an insurgent party to have continued its rise so consistently and prominently and influentially,

  • if that's a word, a year into a government with a massive majority, that's...

  • That would be it, I think.
