## Resource

Given it's a big political week I got the big dog himself, Iain Dale, in to help summarise the stakes for the main parties (of which there are a lot). Will this be the tipping point for Keir? The graduation moment for Reform or the day the nutty Greens arrive as a national force? (even though it's supposed to be local). We also discuss my brush with the Karens and in the Patron only whether we lost friends during the Brexit years. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
