UK Politics, Westminster and Beyond
The UK politics endpoint covers Commons and Lords proceedings, Downing Street briefings, cabinet reshuffles, devolved-government news from Holyrood, Cardiff Bay, and Stormont, by-elections, party-conference coverage, and major polling and public-opinion stories.

Stories are tagged with category, UK country relevance, and the named MPs, ministers, and party figures detected in the body, so government-affairs teams and political-monitoring tools can route quickly.
