Welcome to a brand new year on Whitehall Sources! (12th January is also Frankie's birthday). Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan (Former Special Adviser to Theresa May) and Frankie Leach (former adviser to Jeremy Corbyn) are refreshed and raring to go with analysis, inside stories and insight into life in Whitehall. New year, same strikes - but is this the week progress is being made? Kirsty and Frankie assess the strategies of the government and the opposition when it comes to breaking the strike deadlock. Also, the prime minister head to Scotland. Calum gives a rash political prediction for 2023 based on his Scottish-ness. What does Rishi Sunak hope to achieve when he meets Nicola Sturgeon? And we enter The Tunnel. Brexit negotiations are intensifying so we explain what it all means and who's going to be annoyed about it. Send your thoughts and questions for Kirsty, Frankie and Calum.
