In the latest episode of the podcast, Politics At Jack And Sam’s, Sky News’ deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy delve into significant developments in British politics. The discussion emphasizes the recent modifications to the assisted dying bill introduced by MP Kim Leadbeater. Notably, these changes suggest that cases would no longer require approval from a High Court judge, raising questions about how this might influence parliamentary voting on the issue.
In addition to the assisted dying bill, Coates has been closely examining Labour leader Keir Starmer’s ability to fulfill his commitments, particularly regarding his pledge to eliminate future bat tunnels—a controversial topic among environmentalists and infrastructure advocates. The implications of this promise could resonate throughout the party and influence public perception.

The episode also touches on the latest developments surrounding former President Donald Trump, keeping listeners informed about ongoing political narratives in the UK and beyond. Furthermore, Jon Craig, Sky’s chief political correspondent and a familiar voice on the podcast, shares insights from his exclusive story about a popular bar in Westminster, adding a unique angle to the political discourse.
