Description
Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News's Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, guide us through their predictions of how British politics will play out over the next seven days. In the week after Rishi Sunak's Rwanda vote, Jack and Sam predict the Tories will try and move on to safer ground to talk about tax cuts and the economy, amid questions about how much longer Jeremy Hunt will remain chancellor. Meanwhile Sir Keir Starmer will be trying to take the headlines with his own agenda with a speech focussing on crime. Rwanda isn't forgotten, though – Jack and Sam talk about what's next for the policy that has divided the Conservative Party. Plus, there's even more pressure on Nicola Sturgeon after the COVID Inquiry revealed she had "deleted" all of her WhatsApp messages during the pandemic... Jack and Sam discuss what's next for the former first minister and the SNP. Email with your thoughts and rate how their predictions play out: jackandsam@sky.uk or jackandsam@politico.co.uk
