Politics
Sky News delivers daily politics reports from the UK and worldwide and the latest breaking political news as it happens.
news.sky.comI can share the latest publicly available notes on Politics Weekly UK, but I don’t have real-time access to live updates in this turn. Here’s a concise snapshot based on recent episodes and coverage:
- What it is: Politics Weekly UK is a Guardian-backed politics podcast hosted by John Harris with contributions from Pippa Crerar and Kiran Stacey, delivering analysis of the week’s UK political news. The show tends to publish multiple episodes per week, including expert interviews and listener Q&A.
- Recent themes (late 2025 to early 2026): discussions around the governing party’s compatibility with backbench demands, leadership dynamics inside Labour and Reform UK, and scrutiny of policy shifts such as security, social media regulation, and spending plans. The podcast has covered leadership questions, party conference insights, and scrutiny of ministerial decisions.
- Notable guests and angles: episodes frequently feature senior journalists and policy editors from The Guardian, delivering post-event analysis from party conferences or key policy announcements; sometimes guests discuss internal party debates or crosses with international diplomacy.
- Where to listen: the podcast is available on major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Global Player, and other aggregators, with episodes typically running around 30–40 minutes.
