Ben Wright previews the political week with senior figures from the three main parties in England, and discusses the turmoil in Scottish politics with one of the SNP's MPs.

Ben Wright is joined by the Conservative MP Theresa Villiers; Labour's leader in the Lords, Baroness Angela Smith; and the Lib Dem deputy leader, Daisy Cooper. They discuss the forthcoming local elections, tension between London and Dublin as a result of the Rwanda scheme, and new post-Brexit border checks. Ben Riley-Smith, political editor of the Daily Telegraph, brings additional insight and analysis. The programme also includes an interview with the SNP MP Alyn Smith about the turmoil in Scottish politics - and Ben talks to the veteran broadcaster and peer, Joan Bakewell, about why she supports a bid to legalise assisted dying.
