Sensemaker Live: Local elections – so what did we vote for?

Sensemaker Live: Local elections – so what did we vote for?

This event is exclusive to Friends of Tortoise


This week’s local elections in the UK are a test of whether you can be forgiven for 130,000 deaths by preventing tens of thousands more with vaccines. They’re also a test of Keir Starmer’s relevance and Nicola Sturgeon’s staying power. Join us to chew over the great mid-term pulse-check of British democracy.
