Who wants to give Keir Starmer a kicking? Basically everyone. Rotten Boroughs editor Saba Salman joins Helen Lewis, Ian Hislop and Adam Macqueen to explain how British politics has fractured and how May's elections will be a total bunfight. Plus: how did Elizabeth II become Brenda, and what nicknames for Harry and Meghan never took off?
