A weekly look inside British politics from the BBC with Edward Stourton.

This week: the case of murdered toddler James Bulger in the news again. Prospects for public sector workers. Could the Lib Dems soon hold the balance of power? And will election night be the same?

On Politics UK this week, Edward Stourton look at the legal challenges posed as the case of James Bulger - the toddler murdered by two boys in the early 1990s - erupts onto the front pages again. We debate the prospects for public sector workers as thousands come out on strike. Could Britain's third party, the Liberal Democrats, hold the balance of power in the next parliament? And will Election Night itself be the same this time round?
