Ben Wright and guests reflect on the election campaign and the challenge from Reform UK.

Ben Wright assesses the election campaign with the Labour Party Chair, Anneliese Dodds; Conservative Steve Brine; political strategist Salma Shah; and John Stevens from the Mirror.

Ben Wright's guests are the Labour Party Chair, Anneliese Dodds; former Conservative MP, Steve Brine; plus political strategist and former Tory adviser, Salma Shah. They assess the general election campaign so far, including another poll suggesting a big Labour majority. The former Cabinet Secretary, Lord Butler, explains how the civil service prepares for a change of government - alongside Baroness Kate Fall, a key figure in David Cameron's incoming Downing St team in 2010. And the co-deputy leader of Reform UK, Ben Habib, previews his party's manifesto launch - outlining the main policies and insisting his party is serious about winning seats.
