The HuffPost UK Politics team weave their way through the week's events in Westminster. Grenfell Tower and the response by local and national government took the spotlight, while Theresa May's government handed in a threadbare Queen's Speech for the nation. It was still too much for Boris Johnson to remember though. Over in Brussels, David Davis' "row of the summer" didn&...

HuffPost UK's Owen Bennett sat down with Labour's Tom Watson to reflect on a quasi-successful election for Labour and try and work out what's gone right for Jeremy Corbyn all of a sudden. #Labour #tom watson #jeremy corbyn #election #ge2017 #conservative Hosted on Acast.

HuffPost UK Politics team take a forensic look at the week in Westminster, which has seen Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn swap monikers, he's strong and stable and she's the new ministry of chaos. Elsewhere, the fire in West London looks like it will too have a strong political impact as cuts and lapses in governance look to have played a hand in the devastation called. But is it too early t...

HuffPost UK Politics take stock of a night of election shocks, spills and thrills. For the second time in three elections we have a hung parliament, a result that has left Theresa May in the firing line and with huge questions of where to go next for the Conservatives. Meanwhile, Labour celebrate like they've won but are the storm clouds gathering again? Lib Dem struggle to keep ahead of the m...

HuffPost UK Politics continues on the campaign trail, stopping by the BBC and Sky studios for the leaders' debates. The team showed more interest in the television spectacles than Theresa May, who ducked out of the 7-way clash on Wednesday. Has that cost her votes? Some Tories are so angry with her they've resorted to swearing at Owen about it. Jeremy Corbyn may be on the up, but Tim Farro...

HuffPost UK Politics take a look at the week in politics, which this week took time to stand with the people of Manchester following the terrible events of Monday night. With campaigns on pause, questions need to be answered on whether police cuts by the previous government have made the police's job harder, which wasn't helped by the US intelligence services' open policy with the medi...

HuffPost UK Politics report on the week in Westminster, which this week wasn't in Westminster much as the parties launched their manifestos. Jeremy Corbyn tried to show his working out, Theresa May is at the back of the class coasting by and Tim Farron is desperately trying to curry favour with the teacher to no avail. What does it mean? Well, much the same as the previous week really. Hosted...

As the election rundown gathers pace, the HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster. First of all, a leak from Labour HQ (or is it from closer to Corbyn?) sees the manifesto fall into the public domain. People seem to like the policies, but are they possible? Meanwhile, voters in Birmingham tell us they don't trust Corbyn to deliver much of anything but certainly not Bre...

HuffPost UK's politics team take a look at the week on the campaign trail, which saw our intrepid team go beyond the bubble to Slough where it's clear Brexit is still being fought on, Theresa May sees her opponents whispering on the continent and Jeremy Corbyn's team spy their enemies holding microphones, running talk shows and er...podcasts. #Theresa May #Jeremy Corbyn #Diane Abbott #...

HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the first week on the campaign trail. So far, the conservatives seem to be hammering home their message but will Boris be different?

The HuffPost UK politics team return from a well-deserved break, only to be thrown in the deep end by Theresa May and her snap election.

The HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which this week was dominated by Theresa May writing a letter. But what a letter. Yes, it's every "remoaner's" nightmare as Article 50 was invoked by the PM. Elsewhere, G4S might have not being doing its job properly, Nigel Farage was happy as Larry and talking World Wars. What a week. #Article 50 #Nigel Farage...

The week in Westminster was overshadowed by events on 22/3, when an attacker drove a car at pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before attempting to gain access to the Palace of Westminster.

The HuffPost UK politics team try to get their heads round a bewildering week in Westminster. Philip Hammond was forced to back down over NI, not that Jeremy Corbyn could make it pay. Meanwhile, Nicola Sturgeon threatened to out-referendum Theresa May as David Davis announced that the details haven't really been looked at over Brexit. #theresa may #indy referendum #nicola sturgeon #scotland #S...

The HuffPost UK politics team are down one this week but carry on regardless. Much like a by-elections. This week, the NHS becomes a political tool. Again.

This week Westminster heads stateside as PM Theresa May goes to meet Mr Trump in Washington DC. Will his views on torture end our torturous use of "the special relationship"?

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The HuffPost UK Politics team take a swipe at the week in Westminster. This week, Boris Johnson unleashes his latest gaffe, talking lederhosen instead of sanctions against the Syrian regime. Everyone is still talking about Brexit but all sound exactly the same i.e. they're not sure how it'll work and there's a quiz of the year in news. Merry Christmas all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.co...
