Farage’s non-manifesto, should Corbyn have stood for the Greens and where’s Boris Johnson?

As the first postal votes are cast and Reform launch their β€œcontract”, Amol and Nick look at the state of the campaign.

With the first postal votes being cast this week, Amol and Nick look at how parties are hoping to change voters' minds at a crucial point in the campaign.

They assess Nigel Farage’s chances of winning seats with Reform UK, whether Keir Starmer is running out of things to say – and Amol has a theory about Jeremy Corbyn and the Green Party.

Plus, they answer your listener questions: what will Boris Johnson do next?
