Summary
As the dust settles on Keir Starmer's mystifying reshuffle of the Labour party following the local elections, Stephen, Anoosh and Ailbhe discuss what it all means.
In an extended 'You Ask Us' they take on as many listener questions as possible from the deluge the New Statesman received in the wake of the election results.
This is part one of a two-part special. In part two, the team talk to Chris Deerin about the Scottish results, and Ben Walker about local elections across the UK.
