"A seismic moment": Is Reform now the official opposition?
Manage episode 480235841 series 2592675
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has had a breakthrough night at the local elections — making big gains in local councils, winning their first mayoralty in Greater Lincolnshire with Andrea Jenkyns, and snatching a knife-edge by-election victory in Runcorn and Helsby.
The results have Reform celebrating, Labour licking its wounds, and the Conservatives turning on themselves, with one MP blasting leader Kemi Badenoch for "staying out of the limelight" after a dismal performance.
Kamal and Camilla are joined by Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice to ask what this all means for the political landscape and if it is really a serious threat to the two-party system.
And as Prince Harry loses a legal challenge over his security whilst in the UK, we ask what it means for his and his family's future in the country.
