How To Win An Election is a weekly political analysis podcast from The Times, published since October 2023.[1] It is hosted by political comedian and broadcaster Matt Chorley, with analysis from Peter Mandelson of the Labour Party, Daniel Finkelstein of the Conservative Party, and Polly Mackenzie, formerly of the Liberal Democrats and the Women's Equality parties.[2] It is released on Tuesdays, and partially broadcast on Times Radio, within Chorley's daily Politics Without The Boring Bits morning politics news analysis show.[3] It was listed by The Week as one of the best political podcasts,[4] and later one of the best podcasts overall of 2023.[5]
In December 2023, when discussing political donations, Mandelson said that the Labour administration had taken a £1 million donation from an animal rights group and later banned fox hunting.[6] In March 2024, when commenting in the show on how appearance mattered in politics, Mandelson was criticised for giving the comment that Keir Starmer "needs to shed a few pounds".[7]
