From the show
Never has a local election in the United Kingdom been so loaded with implications. The rise in popularity of two parties - Reform and the Greens - raises questions about the political system, for so long based on two main parties.
But on a wider scale the fate of the UK prime minister could be in play. Sir Keir Starmer has been under pressure it seems ever since winning the election. There are already reports of plans to push Sir Keir aside if Labour loses heavily in the local elections on Thursday. So could this be Starmer's Last Stand?
Produced by Mark Owen, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Charles Wente.
