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.
