  • When is Keir Starmer's first reshuffle?
    Mar 13 2025
    Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy have their guide to the day ahead in British politics.

    It’s crunch time for Keir Starmer’s government. With rumours of a cabinet reshuffle rife - when might it take place? And who’s on the chopping block?

    This at a time when a rebellion over planned cuts to the welfare budget is brewing.

    Sam and Anne also explain how the subject of civil service reform is in fact very interesting – Keir Starmer will want to take note. Today he’ll apparently be announcing changes to defence spending, AI, and radical reform of the state.

  • Starmer and Trump – best of frenemies?
    Mar 12 2025
    Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy have their guide to the day ahead in British politics.

    Tariffs are back on the agenda for this morning’s episode – the US has put them on all steel and aluminium imports, including those from the UK.

    How do ministers respond now? Does it go any further than the stiffly worded statement from business secretary Jonathan Reynolds?

    And as the US and Ukraine await Russia’s response to the proposal for a 30 day ceasefire, what is the role of the Starmer government at the moment – and what are the negotiating tactics at play?

  • Keir the builder - can he fix it?
    Mar 11 2025
    Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy have their guide to the day ahead in British politics.

    Bats, pylons, and planning reforms - how far is Keir Starmer willing to go to achieve the growth and infrastructure he’s promised, and will Labour’s new reforms help the UK get there? And what has the fallout been after Mike Amesbury announced his resignation, triggering a by election in Runcorn?

    And over in Riyadh, ahead of peace talks over the war in Ukraine, how significant a role has Keir Starmer’s National Security advisor Jonathan Powell been playing?
