About this episode
The government is determined not to let a little thing like a disastrous set of local elections put it off its stride.
Over the course of the bank holiday we were told that 'the plan is working... it just needs a little more time'.
Labour is having none of it - accusing the PM of 'gaslighting' the public over the state of the UK economy.
But what if the economy DOES start to improve? What if inflation DOES start to fall? Can the public be pursuaded things... can only get better...?
We have an extended interview with Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Later. What do Javier Milei and Liz Truss have in common? Erm, nothing. Nothing whatsoever it transpires....
