Politics UK

Available for over a year

The UK’s new politics collided with ancient pomp and ceremony this week. The Queen gave her traditional speech opening parliament and the new coalition government began swinging the axe over the nation’s finances. So what’s in store for the next year? And as more candidates put themselves forward to lead the defeated Labour Party, what exactly is required for the job? All that in Politics UK.
