Summary

Following Labour’s heavy losses at the May local elections, pressure is growing on Keir Starmer, with some MPs now openly questioning his future as Prime Minister.

In this episode of The Black Paper, we discuss the success of Reform during the local elections, the growing normalisation of racism in British politics, Labour’s identity crisis, and why politics is increasingly being driven by emotion and culture wars. We also reflect on what the local election results mean for representation, coalition politics, and the future of the country - while marking a year of The Black Paper!
