Is the UK-US "special relationship" over?
About this episode
James discusses the future of the UK-US 'special relationship' and the implications of social media addiction.
James unpacks growing doubts over the future of the UK-US “special relationship”, after stark warnings from former NATO figures were met by firm reassurances from the American ambassador. Is the alliance over? If so, how should Britain respond? Then, as social media executives deny their platforms are inherently addictive to children, the callers share whether social media mirrors more traditional forms of addiction - and what living with serious addiction really feels like. This episode was recorded on the 23rd of April. Catch James O'Brien weekdays from 10am on LBC.
