17/09/2010 | Public spending cuts | Defence review | EU Arrest Warrant
With public service cuts looming, does Britain face another winter of discontent?
The strategic defence review. And does the European Arrest Warrant threaten ancient liberties? With Dennis Sewell.
This week on Politics UK with Dennis Sewell:
Britain's trade unions are promising a winter of discontent if the Government doesn't change track over cuts to public spending. We ask Jack Dromey MP, formerly a senior figure in the trade union Unite, if the threat could rebound on the opposition Labour party, as it did thirty years ago?
Britain's future place in the world: modest, largely disarmed second-rater - or a nation with a place at the international high table? We speak to Professor Michael Clarke, director of the Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies, Sir Malcolm Rifkind MP, a former Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary and Julian Lindley-French, Professor of Defence Strategy at the Netherlands Defence Academy.
And British citizens snatched from their homes and transported to foreign jails without court scrutiny - have ancient liberties been bartered away in the name of European co-operation? We speak to Nick de Bois MP and Alex Deane, a barrister and director of the civil liberties campaigning group, Big Brother Watch.
