Can the Tories win back the Reform vote?

'A vote for Reform is a vote to let Labour in' says Conservative minister

Today, we look at where the Conservatives go now after big byelection losses in the week, and how the West might respond to the death of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Laura and Paddy are joined by 成人快手 chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman to discuss the challenges the Conservatives face from Reform and Labour鈥檚 divisions over a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict.

We also hear from the wives of two politicians in prison. The exiled Belrusian opposition politician Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya鈥檚 husband Sergei is being held in Belarus, and Evgenia Kara-Murza鈥檚 husband Vladimir Kara-Murza's husband is being held in Russia.
