  • Is Rachel Reeves the new Margaret Thatcher?

    Is Rachel Reeves the new Margaret Thatcher?
    Nov 25 2024
    Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.

    Another week, another opportunity for Rachel Reeves to defend the tax rises in her budget.

    Today she'll want to reassure business leaders as they complain her plans are putting them off hiring.

    But as the government announces welfare reforms this week to get more people back into work - does the budget actually undermine those plans?

    Also this week, MPs will vote on whether to legalise assisted dying.

    With the cabinet split on the issue - how difficult is this for the government? And should individual ministers be so vocal on their views? You can send a WhatsApp to Jack and Sam on 07511 867 633 or email them: jackandsam@sky.uk

  • What has Labour learned from Prescott?

    What has Labour learned from Prescott?
    Nov 21 2024
    Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.

    This morning Westminster wakes up to the news that John Prescott, Britain's longest-ever holder of the title deputy prime minister, the conscience of New Labour, and - at times - its life and soul, has died.

    Jack and Sam reflect on his legacy both within and beyond party politics and ask whether Angela Rayner should inherit his intolerance of the overly liberal middle class and be the deputy prime minister of working people.

    They also discuss what lies ahead for Ukraine as British missiles are fired into Russia for the first time in the conflict.
