It’s the day after the very soggy night before.

Camilla Tominey and Kamal Ahmed are joined by Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to get the inside track from the Conservative and Labour camps 24 hours after Rishi Sunak surprised everyone by calling a general election.

They also reflect on Mr Sunak’s slightly shambolic (and damp) speech on the steps of Downing Street and ask whether the timing of the announcement has caught out Sir Keir Starmer.

Plus, they reveal just how close Nigel Farage was to standing for Reform, and IPSOS polling guru Kelly Beaver is in the studio to look at the key numbers and indicators that will decide the election.
