## Resource

Ahead of the local elections in England and parliamentary elections in Scotland and Wales, the political masterminds ask: just how bad can it get for the Labour Party? If predictions of huge losses come to pass, how will the cabinet, MPs and councillors react, and can Downing Street come up with a plan to circle the wagons around Keir Starmer? We also discuss what impact the terror attacks in Golders Green, north London, will have on political campaigning. Send your questions, comments, and voicenotes to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk.
