Two of Westminster’s most connected journalists, Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Jack Blanchard, walk you through their top predictions for the next seven days on British politics.
Local and council elections are heading our way, with Westminster set to suffer the consequences. But don’t expect Rishi Sunak to announce the general election date any time soon, despite rumors that some MPs are jockeying – find out why in this episode.
Furthermore, how will Labor use their predicted successes? And where will the other parties fall?
Heading north, Holyrood is also set for an explosive week, with votes of no confidence in Prime Minister Humza Yousaf and the Scottish Government itself.
Jack and Sam look at how those votes could play out this week and why former SNP leadership candidate turned Alba MP Ash Regan holds all the power.
They also discuss Deputy Foreign Minister Andrew Mitchell’s big week and why Monday could raise a major hot topic in the House of Commons.
