Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips

This week's headlines have been dominated by claims of sexual harassment in Westminster and an alleged culture of inappropriate behaviour. Party battle lines have been abandoned as the Prime Minister looks for a consensus on how to handle a scandal which has claimed a major scalp in Sir Michael Fallon who's resigned as Defence Secretary. To discuss this week's hot topic, Adam Boulton is joined by...

Adam Boulton presents this week's edition from Brussels where Theresa May is trying to inject some progress into the Brexit negotiations - but with very little success so far. On the domestic front, the roll out of Universal Credit - one of the government's key welfare reforms - has been criticised for the impact its having on benefit recipients. That as inflation hits three percent and a series o...

Bad deal or no deal? As Brexit discussions make little progress in Brussels are tensions within Theresa May's Cabinet undermining hopes of a successful departure from the European Union? A breakaway from the UK has taken a backseat somewhat among the Scottish National Party so can Nicola Sturgeon maintain momentum with a focus on other policy areas? And as Theresa May reheats an old Ed Miliband id...

Adam Boulton and guests reflect on the Conservative Party conference in Manchester where Theresa May's message was hampered by a cough and a comedian, and Boris Johnson couldn't quite make it through to the end without making headlines of his own. The news agenda has been dominated by the horrific shootings in Las Vegas, reopening the debate about gun laws in the USA. And the fallout from the disp...

Adam Boulton and guests discuss both domestic and international politics with a review of the Labour conference in Brighton, a look ahead to the Tories gathering in Manchester, a review of last week's election in Germany and the prospect - or not - of a referendum on Catalan independence this weekend.

Joining Adam this week are the New Statesman's Julia Rampen, Sky's senior political cor...

Everyone in the UK has a local MP but just how 'local' are they? Research by Demos finds that less than a third of Conservative MPs have historical ties to the constituencies they now serve. As Theresa May indicates she's planning on putting down roots in 10 Downing Street, what chance does she have of fulfilling that aspiration? And what next for Scottish Labour after Kezia Dugdale's decision to...

Barely a day goes by without Donald Trump making headlines and this week he has been engulfed in the controversy surrounding his response to the violence at a right-wing rally in Charlottesville, Virgina at the weekend which left one person dead. He was widely criticised for his initial response which failed to denounce the far right, instead blaming all sides. To make some sense of it all, Sky's...

As the fallout from the 2017 snap General Election continues into the summer, a little light has been shed on how and why Theresa May lost her overall Commons majority.

Adam Boulton and guests discuss the economy as the debate over the government's position on public sector pay intensifies.
