ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Harriet Langley-Swindon and Producer Martin talk to independent councillor Barry Normal about the lack of vetting from the main parties when it comes to the local elections, as well as asking... well, what it is that councillors do, exactly; Eshaan Akbar looks at Reform's proposals to build detention centres in areas that have the audacity to vote Green; and Producer Martin begins a brand new intervestigation (a cross between an interview and an investigation), this time diving into the world of "preppers" - people who are preparing for the end of the world.
