It's Laura's last TV show tomorrow, before Christmas.
In her BBC message she set out to inform us how all the political parties might fare in 2026.
She mentioned Labour, Tories, Lib-Dems, Greens and Plaid Cymru.
Not a word on the SNP.
She wishes everyone a merry Christmas though.

The BBC has been told to 'correct errors quickly' by the Prime Minister. So why doesn't that seem to apply to Scotland? Xander Elliards asks✍️

Kemi Badenoch's personal attacks on Rachel Reeves in her response to Reeves' budget was way over the top.
Previously, Reeve's personal attacks on the Greens and the SNP when presenting her budget was equal in malice.
Labour came to power on 33% of the UK vote
Why don't I feel sorry for Reeves?
