One strike and you’re out – Start Your Week with Alex Andreou

As the Government's handling of strikes gets worse, it tries another tack: make strikes and protests impossible in certain industries. Can the Tories pull it off? Plus, Westminster vs Holyrood on gender recognition, the Brexit beast rears its head again, and has Joe Biden’s cache of documents in his garage offered the Republicans an open goal? Alex Andreou sets out the week ahead with Jacob Jarvis. 

• “The Government’s problem is that they went into the strikes with no exit strategy.” 
• “The Government picked this fight with the unions to show off their economic competence – and it hasn’t worked out for them at all.”
• “Stopping a protest that hasn’t happened yet sounds a bit thought-crimey.”
