Post-election pod: How will Labour govern? And who will take charge of the Tories?

It’s the afternoon after the night before and Amol and Nick are back after 14 hours of live radio for a post-election podcast.

How will Keir Starmer govern as prime minister? Will the Conservative leadership contest be taken over by Nigel Farage? How did the Liberal Democrats do so well? And why has there been such a pronounced splintering overnight in British politics?

Plus – an update on pod squadder Alex’s election night cross stitching!
