Shelagh Fogarty is joined by The News Agents' co-host Jon Sopel to discuss Keir Starmer's latest U-turn.

Labour has been forced to change it's decision to cancel 30 local elections across the UK.

The Government has abandoned proposed plans to postpone the local elections for councils in May, the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government confirmed on Monday.

It follows a court complaint lodged by Reform UK.

Nigel Farage said the Government’s decision to abandon plans to cancel local elections in 30 councils was a victory for Reform UK.

A total of 63 councils were offered the opportunity to delay May's local elections in December after the Local Government Reorganisation programme was unveiled.
