Summary

Adam Boulton presents this week's edition from Brussels where Theresa May is trying to inject some progress into the Brexit negotiations - but with very little success so far. On the domestic front, the roll out of Universal Credit - one of the government's key welfare reforms - has been criticised for the impact its having on benefit recipients. That as inflation hits three percent and a series of reports show how living standards are falling. Joining Adam to discuss the issues and numbers are Sky's political correspondent Lewis Goodall and Head of Data Harry Carr. #UniversalCredit #Brexit #May #PMQs
