About this episode
The next PM may be decided in a by-election near Wigan. That could be problematic for both the voters of Makerfield and the electorate at large.
Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell look at what the Burnham drama could mean for Britain as a whole, as national and local politics collide in Labour's latest psychodrama.
Talking of local politics, they also venture to Worcestershire, where a rainbow coalition has formed to sideline some (allegedly) useless Reform councillors ... much to the chagrin of Conservative Central Office.
And, in an attempt to escape the 'localm' for a few minutes, they pick some holidays ... that they wouldn never go on. Very Quiet Riot, that one.
