Summary
With days until the local and national elections – amid some grim polling projections – are Labour facing a double-edged threat from both the left and right of British politics?

Away from the campaigning Sam and Anne assess the state of potential leadership challengers. Are they ready and can they realistically force the Prime Minister’s hand? Plus, have Rachel Reeves’ warnings to the U.S. that the war with Iran would be “folly’ come back to haunt her?
