Welcome to the latest episode of Never Mind The Bar Charts, in which Stephen Tall and I pick over the 2019 local election results to see how happy the Liberal Democrats should be. We also take a bit of a look forward to the European elections, discuss the use of 'bollocks' (complete with Ofcom guidance) and consider the overall pace of the Liberal Democrat recovery.

Show notes * 704! * The coalition didn't irredeemably damage the Lib Dem brand: the evidence. * Not Enough Champagne: the centre-left podcast we praise during the show. * John Curtice's analysis of the Lib Dem local election performance versus the Remain/Leave balance of an area. * How rude is 'bollocks'? The official Ofcom guidance. * How effective is 'bollocks'? It fits with this wise advice.
