Description
Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News's Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, guide us through their predictions of how British politics will play out over the next seven days. This week – Jack and Sam do their best to predict what Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has up his sleeve for his second, and possibly final, budget statement on Wednesday. They discuss if national insurance or income tax could be cut and what language Mr Hunt might use about money for public services. Away from the budget – is the toxic mood of Westminster likely to ease at all this week as George Galloway makes a return to the Commons? Plus, the Rwanda bill in the Lords and Super Tuesday in the US.Email with your thoughts and rate how their predictions play out: jackandsam@sky.uk or jackandsam@politico.co.uk
