Where did the parties do better – and where less well? What might it tell us about the general election later this year? What lessons are there for the politicians – and will they take any notice? John and Rachel will be answering these questions and any more that you may have - so sign up now!You can book your place here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
