Hello and welcome to the Westminster Hour with me, Ben Wright, and my guests.

The Reform Quake, a bloodbath, seismic, whatever you call it.

Politicians are trying to work out what happened in the recent elections in England,

why it happened and what the implications might be. We'll hear from what used to be

called the two main parties and from the insurgents who are proving increasingly attractive

to voters. We'll also hear from Kent, one of the counties now run by Reform UK, about the

disillusionment and frustration behind the surge in support for Nigel Farage

and the movement he leads. That is all coming up. First, let's meet my panel. Chris Curtis is one of

the many new Labour MPs who swept into Parliament at the last election. He represents Milton

Keens and is co-chair of the Labour Growth Group. Chris used to be a pollster and is also a theme park

enthusiast, apparently, a fan of roller coasters, bumper cars, the House of Horrors. So which ride

do you think Labour's on at the moment, given Thursday night's results, Chris? Oh, that's not a question I

expected to be to be to be to be starting on like I mean politics is politics is always a roller

coaster but you do have to remember that sometimes you go down but that doesn't mean you

can't go back up again good answer Danny Kruger is the conservative MP for east Wiltshire

and also shadow work and pensions minister before becoming an MP he worked as an advisor for

prime ministers David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Good evening, Danny.

Hello, Ben. Wiltshire Council was Conservative run for 25 years, but now the Lib Dems are the biggest

party there, one of the many telling stories of the night. Apparently there are amusement

part rides called Drop Towers, Danny, where people plunge to the ground in a terrifying freefall.

Is that what's happening to your party at the moment?
