UK Local Elections, Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer, Northern Ireland, & more w/ Bill Bowkett

Description
On this Heard Tell Good Talks, we head overseas and check in with our UK friends and the local elections they just had. Bill Bowkett, of Reaction an another of our great Young Voices contributors joins us to talk about the UK local elections, what it means for PM Boris Johnson, the issues like cost of living and partygate scandals that affected the vote, and what might be coming next. Bill also talks about the Labour Party, how leader Sir Keir Starmer's own issues with COVID-19 rules could see him into a very tight spot, gains made in traditionally tough areas, and how the post-Corbyn Labour Party is still trying to figure out just what it is, at least in branding to the voters. We finish up talking about the mess in Northern Ireland, and how the latest chapter in this very old problem has once again come to the front of UK politics and policy.
