About this episode
The latest numbers from More in Common suggest that Nigel Farage may come to regret his comments over Putin and the Ukraine war.
Reform has slipped back in the polls - and one in four voters believe that Farage is sympathetic to Putin.
How will any of this play into the way people vote for his party next week?
But we start with the gambling scandal.
Keir Starmer has become the latest party leader to dispatch a candidate for betting - after Ipswich candidate Kevin Craig was found to have placed a bet on himself losing. North of the border, the Conservatives Scottish Secretary has come under fire for his own political flutter - even though it was not done with any inside knowledge. Are we in danger of descending into moral panic over any gambling?
