In this episode, Alan Finlayson and Jeremy Gilbert discuss the crisis in the Labour Party following the cataclysmic local and devolved election results of the previous week. The Greens and Reform UK are destroying Labour’s voter base from left and right respectively, nationalist parties are cleaning up in Scotland and Wales, and it looks like Andy Burnham may be about to become the UK’s most hypothetically left-wing Prime Minister since the election of Harold Wilson in 1974. Can any of this really be happening?

This episode was recorded live online, with listeners posting questions in the chat as we went along, some of which we addressed in this episode, the rest of which we responded to in the following episode.
