#10 You Wait for One Rebellion and Three Come Along at Once

33m · Published 14 Jan 00:00
The HuffPost UK politics team take on another week in Westminster, this time without Owen Bennett but instead joined by Lucy Sherriff. This week, rebellion is in the air as some Conservative MPs head for Brexit, Labour risk a Corbyn missile crisis and Junior Doctors put down the stethoscopes for the first strike in over 40 years.

#9 Shuffling Through the Shadows

22m · Published 07 Jan 00:00
The Huff Post UK Politics team charge into the New Year, yawning their way through a shadow cabinet reshuffle and non-excuses from government over flood defenses. It's good to see 2016 hasn't brought change to Westminster.

#8 An Agreeable Climate

25m · Published 17 Dec 00:00
The Huff Post UK politics team take a swipe at the week's news, which this week included an historic agreement on climate change. Will David Cameron's attempts at EU change be as successful? And who was the winner and loser of 2015?

#7 If You're Old Enough for a Sunbed, You're Old Enough to Vote

23m · Published 10 Dec 00:00
The Huff Post UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which this week saw potential leaders stand in at PMQs, while the voting age for the EU referendum was debated in both chambers of Parliament.

#6 A War On Many Fronts

24m · Published 03 Dec 00:00
The Huff Post UK Politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which was dominated by the 10hr debate on Wednesday about whether UK air strikes should extend from Iraq into Syria to wipe ISIS out. The debate stirred strong emotions and has led the Labour party to once again look rudderless and divided, which is just what you need before a by-election.

#5 The Conservatives Are for Turning

24m · Published 26 Nov 00:00
The Huff Post UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which was dominated by George Osborne and his autumn statement. In a much-welcomed U-turn he ditched tax credits, but continued to play his game of brinksmanship with the opposition benches on what they should and shouldn't say. John McDonnell did something he definitely, probably, shouldn't have done. Meanwhile, support for bombing Syria and ISIL is growing on both sides of the Commons.

#4 I Meant What I Said, Unless I Didn't

26m · Published 19 Nov 00:00
The Huff Post UK Politics team take a look at the week that was in Westminster, which was obviously dominated by the attacks on Paris. As France bombs ISIS-held parts of Syria, Jeremy Corbyn said yes and no to "shoot to kill" policy on British streets. He wasn't the only one backtracking, with Ken Livingstone sort of apologising for controversial remarks. Meanwhile, can George Osborne jump through his own hoops next week?

#3 Dave vs Dave vs Gordon vs Everyone

24m · Published 12 Nov 00:00
The Huffington Post UK politics team take a weekly look at Westminster. This week, Simon Burns worries about the ridicule that would follow if they allowed breast feeding in the Commons, oblivious to the ridicule by saying that. David Cameron's letter writing makes him look, well...and Philip Hammond wants more trade deals involving arms. March of the Makers takes a dark new twist.

#2 They Are Coming for Your History

26m · Published 05 Nov 00:00
The Huffington Post UK Politics team take a look at the week in Westminster. This week, the Snoopers Charter unveiled by Theresa May had Ned Simons worried, students protested for the hell of it and an Oldham byelection could be the making or, if not breaking, bending of Jeremy Corbyn.

#1 The 'T' Word

26m · Published 29 Oct 00:00
The Huff Post UK Politics team discuss the week in Westminster. This week, the government saw their first defeat over tax credits, when the House of Lords rejected the proposals. This of course was met with decorum and rational discussion. Does it also down George Osborne's chances to lead? Also, MPs struggle to say the word tampon.
