## Resource

After a fortnight of local and national elections drama - can the machinery of government get back moving again amid global instability? With the Straits of Hormuz still shut, Sam and Anne examine a raft of announcements coming from the Treasury. Is Rachel Reeves about to open a massive argument with the NIMBYs on the right to launch judicial reviews? Away from the levers of government, the duo look ahead to some upcoming by-elections and explain the rules around the coverage of electoral events. All the candidates standing in the Makerfield by-election can be found here.
