Episode By-election eve: Cabinet on the brink
With just 24 hours until polling day, Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy preview three pivotal by-elections that could reshape British politics.
The duo assess the contests in Makerfield, Aberdeen South and Arbroath & Broughty Ferry, exploring:
• Why Makerfield has become one of the most closely watched by-elections in recent political history • How the Conservatives hope to capitalise on support for the oil and gas industry in Aberdeen South • Why Arbroath & Broughty Ferry is a crucial test of the SNP’s ability to fend off Labour's challenge
Away from the campaign trail, Anne brings the latest intelligence from the UK-EU summit as political tensions continue to build in Westminster.
Plus, is the cabinet starting to forge a path for the future without Keir Starmer?
Sam and Anne will return on Friday morning for a special de-brief episode to discuss the impact of the by-election results on British politics.
