Steve Richards of The Independent looks behind the scenes at Westminster. It was a year of unexpected developments at Westminster - the Conservatives won a majority in the May General Election, the SNP gained almost all the Scottish seats at Westminster, the Liberal Democrats were nearly eliminated, and the backbench left wing MP Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour party. Steve Richards talks to the SNP leader at Westminster, Angus Robertson, and also to the Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, about their reversals of fortune. And with fellow Week In Westminster presenters Isabel Hardman of the Spectator and Helen Lewis of the New Statesman, he considers what all these changes portend. The Editor is Marie Jessel.
