A weekly look inside British politics from the BBC.

The leader of the far right British National Party appeared on one of the BBC's flagship political programmes amid a huge amount of controversy and protest. How did the programme go? Will it help the BNP to gain support? British MPs may be banned from employing their relatives to run their offices. Is this latest idea to clean up politics a step too far? Why are many activists in the main opposition Conservative party up in arms because their leader says he is considering imposing all-women shortlists? And do celebrities make good politicians? All that in Politics UK, presented by Dennis Sewell.
