It’s the morning after the day before for Beth, Ruth and Jess as they pull apart the local election results they have so far.    They discuss what big council losses for the Conservatives could mean for the Rishi Sunak narrative. How does the re-election of Ben Houchen as Tees Valley mayor help him?    Also – are there some niggles for Labour within the results, especially with Muslim communities? Jess explains what she thinks the impact of the Middle East conflict could be in Birmingham.    Plus, all three discuss John Swinney as a contender for Scotland’s first minister.    Email Beth, Jess, and Ruth at [email protected], post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444.       Warning: some explicit language.
