James Bulger, public sector workers, hung parliament and election night

Politics UK

Available for over a year

On Politics UK this week, Edward Stourton look at the legal challenges posed as the case of James Bulger - the toddler murdered by two boys in the early 1990s - erupts onto the front pages again. We debate the prospects for public sector workers as thousands come out on strike. Could Britain's third party, the Liberal Democrats, hold the balance of power in the next parliament? And will Election Night itself be the same this time round?
