🎙️ Political Trade Secrets: Politics Across the Pond: Brexit, Reform’s Rise, Starmer’s Fall, and What Britain’s Political Realignment Reveals for America in '26 & '28

Join host Dustin Olson and guest James Johnson, British pollster, former Senior Opinion Research Adviser to Prime Minister Theresa May at 10 Downing, and co-founder of J.L. Partners, for a behind-the-scenes look at the political realignment reshaping Britain and what it can teach American campaigns heading into 2026 and 2028.

In this episode of Political Trade Secrets, we go from Downing Street to Washington, D.C. to examine how Brexit, immigration, voter frustration, and elite failure are breaking apart Britain’s old political order. Johnson brings the perspective of someone who has seen public opinion from inside Number 10, inside focus groups, and now inside American politics.

The episode explores:

• Why Brexit became a flashpoint for immigration, sovereignty, and frustration with political elites

• How the Conservative Party lost trust after presiding over record migration

• How Nigel Farage and Reform UK became serious forces in British politics

• Why Restore Britain could split the right and shape the next phase of UK politics

• How the Makerfield by-election could lead to the fall of Prime Minister Keir Starmer

• What American campaigns can learn from Britain’s realignment before 2026 and 2028

• Why turnout depends on urgency, contrast, and a clear reason to show up
