80 - Pre-election preview

With an important set of elections coming up across the UK in May, Nigel and Sarah have reactivated the OppositionCast election war-room to preview the battles ahead. In London, the Conservatives and Labour will be looking to hang onto or recapture Councils they have traditionally run, but are facing an unprecedented challenge from Reform UK and the Green Party. Meanwhile the SNP will be looking to consolidate its grip on the Scottish Parliament, and Labour will be trying to hang onto control of the Welsh Senedd. The weeks ahead could see further dramatic reshaping of the opposition landscape in the UK, and OppositionCast will be charting the campaign and its aftermath, and hearing from experts and politicians along the way.
