Summary

Today we look at the political reaction to the weekend?s local election results.

Henry joins Laura and Paddy to analyse as Transport Secretary Mark Harper tells Laura the government's plan "is working". Suella Braverman disagrees.

We also hear from the newly re-elected Labour mayor for West Yorkshire, Tracey Brabin, who admits her party lost votes because of its stance on Gaza.

And, why does Keir Starmer keep popping up at non-league football grounds?
