    Amid Britain's current general election, join Gary and Spencer as they delve into the compelling history of the UK's 'khaki' general elections. In this insightful podcast, they investigate four pivotal 20th-century elections that took place during or after major conflicts, shaping the nation's political landscape in profound ways. Discover how the 1900 general election was influenced by the fervour of the Second Boer War. This election saw the Conservative Party solidify its power, bolstered by a wave of imperialist sentiment and public support for the war effort. Next, they examine the 1918 general election, held in the aftermath of World War I. This election was marked by significant changes, including an expanded electorate due to new suffrage laws.

    S2E6 – Winston Churchill, pt1 – his early life
    2024/02/14
    In this episode, Gary and Spencer delve deep into the early life, career, and complex character of Winston Churchill, an influential and often controversial figure in Britain's military, political and imperial history. This episode is the first of a short series and covers Churchills early life up to the end of the Second South African War (Boer War) in 1901/2. With a keen focus on Churchill's intricate relationship with war, they offer insightful perspectives on his roles as a man, politician, and military leader in his early life. They start out by considering books on Churchill that they feel give an insight to the man and his legacy.

Churchill's formative years were marked by familial tension, with his parents often absorbed in their political endeavours. Largely raised by a nanny, he attended various schools before graduating
