The latest Conter podcast
Analysing the English local elections
The local elections in England threw up a range of interesting results. We speak to author and broadcaster Chris Bambery about the issues:
How did Gaza impact the election?
What can we learn from the numerous successful independent campaigns?
Why did Reform fail to make serious inroads - and what does this say about media coverage of political parties?
Green gains: an outlet for anger over Gaza and deflation over Starmerism?
What themes can we draw from the local elections which might translate into the General Election?
Are there any lessons for Scotland?
These questions, and much else, are discussed. Look out for more content this week on Scottish politics and our Capitalism and Imperialism series.
