## Resource

Labour is losing heavily to Reform UK in areas once considered the party’s heartlands - what Nigel Farage calls a “truly historic shift” in British politics. Keir Starmer says he won't leave and plunge the party into chaos - but will it be up to him? Carolyn Quinn unpacks the politics of the day with Will Lloyd and Alys Denby.  Plus: Shadow Minister Victoria Atkins and Reform UK’s London Assembly leader, Alex Wilson. Hosted on Acast.
