31:46Now PlayingWith one month to go until the local elections in England, Wales and Scotland - is the electoral map about to be redrawn?
In his first major test since the general election, Sir Keir Starmer faces a major health check and verdict on his government and leadership. Could the results reshape his premiership?

• Can the SNP hold on for a fifth term at Holyrood?
• Could Welsh Labour lose power in the Senedd for the first time in its electoral history?
• Will Reform UK and the Greens' surge end the conventional two-party political system for good?
• Can the Conservatives stop the bleeding of votes across the board?
