| 0:21.0 | Hello and welcome to your coffee house shots and spectators daily politics podcast. |
| 0:26.0 | I'm Isabelle Hardman and this is the Sunday Roundup. |
| 0:30.0 | Sophie Ridge began the morning by interviewing the Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Rob. |
| 0:34.0 | Ridge sought Rob's response to the so-called Beagate Affair, which is now employing the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. |
| 0:40.0 | Darren Police have now said they will investigate incident and elite Labour Party documents have since thrown further aspersions on the work event that took place at the end of April 2021. |
| 0:51.0 | Do you think that Keir Starmer needs to resign now that he's being investigated by the police? |

| 1:45.0 | But what I would say about it is Keir Starmer looks like I'm afraid someone who's engaged in complete hypocrisy, complete double standards. |
| 1:55.0 | And I don't think he's going to get past that until he gives a proper account of what happened in Durham. |
| 1:59.0 | In other political news, the results from the local elections are in. |
| 2:03.0 | And the Conservatives have ended up shedding almost 500 counsellors across Great Britain. |
| 2:08.0 | Rich asked Rob for his take on his party's performance, confronting him with the benchmarks set in the Daily Mail's pre-match analysis. |
