16. Starmageddon!!

The impact from the elections across Britain will be felt for a long time. Even before the full results are known, the picture so far is one of gloom for the Labour Party. Reform is surging across the country, the Greens are eating into Labour’s London heartlands, and Keir Starmer’s authority is draining by the day. As the results come in, Next Week in Westminster’s Sam Tarry and Marcus Jones bring together some of the sharpest minds in British politics - including Jason Cowley, political commentator for The Sunday Times, Tom McTague, Editor-in-Chief of the New Statesman, and Ben Riley-Smith, The Telegraph’s Chief Political Commentator - to make sense of the results, what they mean for Starmer’s future, and what to expect from the King’s Speech.
