Manifesto week concludes with the Labour and Green Party manifestos being published, and another TV debate being held. Nigel and Sarah consider the significance of a poll showing Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives, and discuss a surprising Tory win in a local by-election.
Also under discussion: is Keir Starmer too robotic? What is the role of leader's spouses, and should you ever bet on an election?
In our time-travelling coverage of the 1997 General Election, Tony Blair gets an intergalactic endorsement, Margaret Thatcher goes off-message, and Peter Snow reviews the latest polls.
