72 | Deal or No deal

in , ,

This week we try to work out who's up and who's down in the great game of European politics.  Has May won anything significant in the Brexit deal?  Is Merkel any nearer to forming a government?  Is Macron the big winner from recent events?  Plus we ask what prospect of Martin Schulz getting his United States of Europe, and what chance now of Jeremy Corbyn making it to No 10.  With Helen Thompson, Chris Brooke and Chris Bickerton.

 

57 | The Year Ahead

in ,

As the summer winds down, David and Helen talk about what the coming political year might have in store.  Is talk of a new UK political party just hot air?  What does Angela Merkel’s likely success in the German elections mean for European politics?  Will Trump’s presidency ever lose its power to shock?  Plus, we discuss who else might be on our political radars in twelve months time.

Thanks! D
