This is Reformquake. That's what's going on across the country today. These are the most astonishing set of local election results in the history of our country.

Apologies for starting a stream with Nigel Farage. There was no trigger warning. But after winning the Runcorn by election, one mayoralty. And a number of councils reform have, it's undeniable,

had a remarkably good night. How should we respond, I suppose? To discuss it all, I'm joined

by Aaron Bustani. Aaron, we've already done one stream today, and I was just saying to Gary

how much of a pleasure it is speaking to you on

days after elections, because you love it, I think. You can really sort of read it in your

I suppose you'd be talking about sort of Ceresa is sort of the last example. I can remember where a sort of tiny party goes on to become a,

obviously reform haven't become a parliamentary majority. We're talking about local elections,

but the extent to which they have overturned Labour and Tory majorities across the country is quite remarkable.

Later in the show, we will discuss two non-election stories. And so one of those is the Israelis

bombing a humanitarian aid ship heading for Gaza. The other is Mark Zuckerberg suggesting
