About this episode
Ian Collins discusses a new megapoll indicating Reform UK could lead, while exploring the implications for a right-wing government and the recent Brighton beach rape case.
Ian Collins unpacks a new megapoll suggesting that Reform UK would emerge largest, yet only a pact with the Conservatives could deliver a right-wing government. With Labour projected to slump to 86 seats, any alternative administration would require an unstable five-party left-wing coalition. Meanwhile, outrage is growing after three failed asylum seekers were convicted over a horrific Brighton beach rape attack. The case has intensified pressure on ministers over hotel accommodation, border screening and the promised deportation of foreign offenders.
