🚨OUT NOW EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEMBERS! In the aftermath of last week's local elections, @samfr and Ayesha Hazarika, together with author and Political Science Professor Rob Ford, look at what the results might mean for a future Labour government. thepowertest.substack.com/p/squeezed-mid…

Great to host Sam Freedman & Lewis Baston on this week’s Debrief! Featuring my fab colleagues and wonderful The Power Test community.

Good morning to all bleary-eyed nerds who stayed up for election results…
