A review of the year when politics lost leave of it senses
In this final podcast of 2018 we look back at a tumultuous, gripping and febrile year in politics.
There were resignations and rebellions.
There were moments of madness and moments of goodness.
There was dancing and dark plotting.
Above all it was dominated by the bitter battles over Brexit.
It was also the year of the Salisbury attacks, rows over anti-semitism and the Windrush scandal.
2018 also saw Theresa May suffer a vote of non-confidence, the Tories torn apart over Europe and the rise of the people’s vote campaign.
The Mirror’s Jason Beattie, Ben Glaze and Nicola Bartlett discuss the highs and lows of the year.
They give their verdicts on how the last 12 months went for Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems, name their heroes and villains and predict what could happen in 2019. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
