Happy New Year! Here's our first weekly Politics Quiz of 2026. There are 8 multi-choice questions about news events relating to politcs from the Christmas period. Most of the questions are about the UK but some focus on global stories. Each answer contains a brief explanation.

**NEW FORMAT**

The online version of the quiz is available from this link. This includes a 'Classroom Mode' that teachers can use to run the activity without revealing answers until the conclusion of the quiz.

Alternatively, teachers can use the Powerpoint version available as a download below.

I'd like to also give a big 'shout out' to the Nick Gregory's A-Level Politics students at Bedales school (with a particular mention to James Walker for his really valuable feedback for this quiz).

Best of luck!
