Elections in England, Australia and Wales. And what are minerals?

Update: 2025-05-04

Description

Professor Sir John Curtice takes us through the data on the closest by-election since the second world war and local elections in England. Niki Savva joins us from Canberra with the latest on the Australian general election. Neha Mukherjee explains why the US wants the deal on Ukrainian minerals so much. Professor Richard Wyn Jones looks ahead to the Senedd 2026 election, and Councillor Calum Davies tells us why he thinks the Conservatives should embrace getting rid of the Senedd.

Sandra Loy from Cardiff Journalism School and Alex Barros-Curtis MP review the papers.
