Kemi Badenoch questions why elections for 29 local councils in England have been postponed from May this year to 2027. The Conservative leader accuses Labour of using "bullying tactics" to convince councils to delay votes; meanwhile, the government has said it's down to local government reorganisation. Three of the councils with postponements are Conservative-led -- delays which Badenoch has said is down to finance. Report by Keechl.
