## Resource

Student of Why Labour is Like This Phil McDuff joins us as we wade through the predictably hilarious fallout from the 2026 Local Elections. Plaid, GPEW and, sadly, Reform all had a pretty good night all told. But there was still plenty of fruitless political flailing to be seen in Keir Starmer's AI-generated speech to save his career, as well as the hapless buffoon(s) who intended to challenge his leadership.
