About this episode
In the first episode of our 'What If' series, Emily, Jon and Lewis look back at some of the big sliding doors moments of our recent history and examine how much our politics has been shaped by these pivotal events. Grappling with some of your submissions, The News Agents ask - what if Scottish independence had won out in the 2014 referendum? What if Rupert Murdoch had never bought The Sun newspaper? And, what if Gordon Brown hadn't been caught on hot mic making disparaging remarks against a Rochdale voter in the 2010 election campaign?
