What the local elections tell us about who will be the next PM
The results of last Thursday’s local elections, were on the face of it, terrible for the Conservatives. The party lost more than 1,000 seats, haemorrhaging support across the country to Labour and the resurgent Lib Dems.But if you look a little closer for glimmers of hope for the Government, a number of interesting factors come into view that show that the race for Downing Street is far from a done deal.In this week’s episode of The i Podcast we are taking a look at Labour’s lacklustre performance in some areas, the opening of Lib Dem front in the Conservative’s “blue wall” and why personality politics is on the wane.Joining us to pick through the details are Political Editor Hugo Gye and Political Reporter Chloe Chaplain to help shine a light on the coming election due in the next 18 months.Read more of our politics coverage here: https://inews.co.uk/category/news/politicsProduced by Julia Webster.
