Webinar date: Thursday 14th May, 5:00PM
The results are now all in... Should we be planning for a change of leader, for Labour or anyone else? What will Reform actually look like in power? Being under no overall control, how will so many councils cope? Which coalitions will emerge?

Whatever happens, Prof. Tony Travers, one of the UK’s leading psephologists and political commentators, will have the most incisive analysis; join him and Vicky Pryce at 5.00pm on Thursday 14th May as they ask where each of the parties now stand and look forward to what might happen next.
