Do you settle for defeat in the course of a marketing campaign?

Former Labour adviser Ayesha Hazarika joins Sky News political editor Beth Rigby and Conservative peer Ruth Davidson as the overall election marketing campaign heads in the direction of its closing fortnight. 
  
They’re assessing whether or not Labour can shake off the questions on its taxation insurance policies. 
  
As Conservative Grant Shapps appeared to simply accept election defeat in an interview, is that one thing anybody ought to do in the course of the marketing campaign? 
  
They talk about the "what ifs" of Reform UK chief Nigel Farage as he tries to grow to be an MP. 
  
And because the SNP launch their manifesto, how is the election shaping up in another way in Scotland? 
  
Plus, Beth, Ruth and Ayesha deal with listeners’ questions on manifesto guarantees and Reform UK’s uncommon set-up.
