Megan Singleton of BloggerAtLarge.com is here with us to talk about the recent spotlight Bali has been getting on screen.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is up against it, with growing calls for a leadership challenge.

UK Labour MP Catherine West says she will trigger a challenge to Starmer's leadership if Cabinet doesn't.

UK correspondent Enda Brady says the results are a vote against Starmer.

"People don't know who he is, people don't know what he stands for, nothing has changed. This summer will mark two years of him being in power and he hasn't delivered the change people wanted."

Victoria University of Wellington Student Association President Aidan Donaghue says it's being binned as the cost of living bites. 

"There's huge opportunity costs...we can't work full time while also studying. So energy, heating, groceries, fuel - those are all just compounding on students as they try and better themselves."
