Welcome to Navarra Live. Coming up tonight, the Labour Party is in crisis following a disastrous set of local election results.

0:10.0

As it stands, 54 Labour MPs have now called for Kier Stama to resign.

0:16.0

We also have a pretty shocking clip of the deputy leader of reform, refusing to condemn the outright racism of a newly elected reform councillor.

0:28.2

And we discuss whether the Green Party is ready for government.

0:31.9

They've got lots of power.

0:33.5

Do they know what to do with it?

0:35.3

I'm Michael Walker.

0:35.9

I'm joined by Ash Sarkar.

Welcome to the show.

Sort of the 24-hour news has got to the point where they just have Downing Street in the background,

0:44.5

1:12.7

So today, I learned of the existence of an MP in the Blackpool area called Lorraine Beaver's.

1:22.4

I just think it's a great name.

1:24.2

So good on you, Lorraine.

1:25.2

You've got your moment in the sun.

1:26.8

It does sound like, you know, if you want to give a fake name to a policeman. Not that I've ever done that. But it would be Lorraine. I mean, I probably wouldn't go up for that. Probably be a giveaway. I was once told by one of our producers, you know, first rule of TV, never tell people what's on the other channel at the same time.
