Summary

Tory failure at the locals was obvious – but the rise of Greens and independents was less clear in advance. What does this mean for Labour and the general election? Plus, it’s 30 years since John Smith died, is he the best Prime Minister Britain never had? Historian and editor of the Tides of History project, Anthony Broxton, joins the panel to discuss. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, the panel discusses the controversy around Baby Reindeer. • “To what extent are the people moving over to the greens really committed to Net Zero?” – Ros Taylor • “Until Labour reconciles with the EU people will always look to John Smith.” – Anthony Broxton We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow Want more Podmasters to listen to?
