What should the government do to tackle this wave of extreme right wing inspired disruption?
What should the government do to tackle this wave of extreme right wing inspired disruption?
The end of July used to be known as the silly season in politics, as everyone would head off on their holidays, but unlike Frank McKenna who continues to be away in Greece, Jim Hancock and Jo Phillips have a packed agenda to discuss.
Jim Hancock and Jo Phillips discuss the latest dramatic developments in the race for the White House, the first row of the new Labour government over the 2 child benefit limit, the weighty King’s speech in general and will the Tories go long or short in the search for a new leader?
The new Labour government has hit the ground running.
Today we unpack the general election results from Thursday evening. Friday morning, focusing on the smaller parties.
A Labour landslide, a Conservative meltdown, a Liberal Democrat revival.
It’s the final countdown. But have Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman and TV debates been the big losers of the seven week ‘yawn fest’ of a campaign?
Not long left in this General Election campaign and we are beside ourselves with excitement, as change seems inevitable and we prepare to welcome a Labour government. Well, hardly.
The polls are not shifting- in fact they are getting worse for Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives. With just over two weeks to go before polling day, Is there anything the Tories can do to prevent the predicted wipeout?
Rachel Reeves called him a liar, Penny Mordaunt said he was completely wrong, Nadine Dorries said he should resign. And Nigel Farage is back. Its been the week from hell for Rishi Sunak – can he possibly recover?
Why did Rishi Sunak call the election, why do the Tories hate young people? Why did Keir Starmer get himself into such a mess over Diane Abbott?
In the absence of Frank McKenna (sunning himself in Florida) it is left to Jim Hancock and Jo Phillips to comment on why the Prime Minister has announced a General Election.
