Labour's local election bloodbath: Will Starmer resign?

After what's shaping up to be a Labour bloodbath, Camilla and Tim reflect on a nightmare set of local election results for Keir Starmer. With the Prime Minister taking the blame but refusing to step aside, they assess whether his Cabinet colleagues may well take the decision out of his hands.

As bad a night as it’s been for Labour, it’s been a great one for Reform. Camilla and Tim are joined by a jubilant Nigel Farage, who says his party’s remarkable taking back of the “red wall” is down to Starmer’s “weak and ruderless” leadership, and that Reform’s gains are down to the Labour Party of “London human rights lawyers” not connecting with ordinary people.
