Understand the UK Election is a simple 10-part guide to everything that is going on in the election, with Adam Fleming.

This episode was hosted Adam Fleming, from Newscast and AntiSocial, with Alex Forsyth, political correspondent and host of Any Questions, and Peter Barnes, the BBC’s senior elections and political analyst.
