What's the evidence that Trump has gone mad?

About this episode

James O'Brien discusses the political pressure on Keir Starmer and explores evidence of Donald Trump's mental decline.

With Keir Starmer facing MPs in the Commons over the Peter Mandelson scandal, James asks how serious the mounting pressure really is - and what today’s showdown could mean for his leadership. And, as three very different columnists separately conclude that Donald Trump has “gone mad”, what evidence do you see of mental decline? This episode was recorded on the 20th of April. Catch James O'Brien weekdays from 10am on LBC.
