Councils Culture – Start Your Week with Gavin Esler and Alex Andreou

Local elections (for local people) are coming up this week. What would mark a good night for Starmer? And what will a bad one mean for Sunak, amid the cost of living crisis and strikes? Plus, as the coronation brings the role of the royals into the spotlight, we get ready to pledge allegiance… And war in Sudan and Ukraine rumbles on – what is the latest from these conflicts? Gavin Esler joins Alex Andreou to explore the news to look out for.

• “We have got the talent in this country to do things – but we tend not to have that talent in Government.” – Gavin Esler
• “Most of us take local elections for granted.” – Gavin Esler
• “Cost of living might have become greedflation: costs falling and companies profiteering.” – Alex Andreou
• “It seems like in Britain we are living in the pageantry of the past.” – Gavin Esler
