Starmer takes charge on Iran contingencies

?Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne's on your podcast app?

MPs may be on recess - but as the Iran war enters its fifth week should Whitehall ramp up contingency planning for its impact at home?

With the Strait of Hormuz still shut and reports of a potential US ground invasion, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will host a roundtable with key stakeholders from industry to discuss the impact of the conflict.

Elsewhere, Labour launches its local elections campaign, and the duo look at the polls from a national perspective, assessing the state of the parties with a key month ahead to 7 May.

Next Monday, Sam and Anne return with a lookahead to the local elections with academic and pollster Professor Rob Ford. Normal service will resume from Monday 13 April.
