YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"Even those MPs in places with a long tradition of Labour holding a seat are having to console councillors who didn't expect to lose elections, and staring down the barrel of, 'this could be me in three years time.'"

Nicky Morgan and Lord McConnell were speaking to Rosie Wright and Calum Macdonald on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every day from 6-10am
