The Week... Rishi takes on The Plot
Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, guide us through their predictions of how British politics will play out over the next seven days.
This week, the prime minister will be railing against the small group of ex-ministers and special advisers who are plotting to bring him down before the election. The campaign to oust Rishi Sunak has been bubbling below the surface since before Christmas, but Jack and Sam predict the movement to dominate the week ahead in Westminster.
And, the Conservatives are not the only party with pre-election problems. Latest polls suggest the SNP will be trumped by Scottish Labour at the general election and will lose control of Holyrood in 2026. Jack and Sam discuss how Nicola Sturgeon will fare at her second appearance at the COVID inquiry this week.
Plus, as Labour puts out its "party of stability" message again this week - with announcements on financial service and life sciences - Jack and Sam run through the party's own psychodramas.
