Brenda Power, Maura Trost and Nick Yallag.

Daniel Murray and Ben Tonner staying with us.

Welcome back, Brenda Powermore, Trasta Ní Ceallag, Daniel Murray and Ben Tonner are still with us.

And now, look, obviously the papers, both English more so, but the Irish papers as well, are full of analysis of those local election results in Britain.

And Keir Starmer very much kind of seems to be on the ropes this weekend.

We're joined on the line now by the Irish Times London correspondent, Mark Paul.

Good morning, Mark.

Mark, before we get into the various moving parts of this weekend, just give us the general picture now that we have the full picture.

How bad is this for Labour?

Is this an earthquake?

What's the shape of things now?

So, OK, in terms of what's happening this weekend, Starmer's leadership, people said, no, no, no, it's fine.

Maybe a timeline, but he's not going yet.

We now have a stalking horse, though.

OK, so and there are manoeuvres as well now for Andy Burnham.

He was stopped from running for Parliament by Starmer and his people, essentially.

But there are manoeuvres there, aren't there, to get him into an as yet unnamed seat as quickly as possible.

So then Starmer's big idea yesterday was to bring back Gordon Brown and the former deputy Labour head, Harriet Harman.

How is that going down?

Okay, if you were a betting man, is he going to survive this particular bout?
