A double-header on what you need to know about this week’s national elections: In Wales Labour could face an historic annihilation that will reverberate through the whole country. Should they blame Starmer or their own poor government? Will Plaid Cymru have to choose between the Greens and what’s left of Labour as coalition partners? And how in hell are English nationalists polling so well, even though their last leader is in prison for taking bribes to make pro-Russian speeches? Which way will Wales swing? Journalist Will Haywood, the go-to voice on Welsh politics, joins Andrew Harrison to make sense of it all.
