Show Notes
Why is Andy Burnham's online game so strong? And what the hell is looksmaxxing?
Two of the social media stars behind the Prime Minister's online dominance explain what works well on TikTok and Instagram and why the new PM is so adept at it.
Lottie, 19, and Poppy, 17, don't just take us inside the world of political stan accounts, they give us a fascinating insight into how young people think about politics and their futures and why they find progressive politics so hopeful.
This is a glimpse into the political future with two young people already shaping the present.
