Hormuz, Hungary and the UK shifting closer to the EU
About this episode
The episode discusses the political shift in Hungary with the defeat of Viktor Orbán and the UK's potential alignment with EU legislation under Keir Starmer's leadership.
After 16 years in power in Hungary, Viktor Orbán has been defeated, marking a huge shift in the European Union. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has defended potential legislation that will align the UK with European rules – without a vote in parliament. Plus the government confirms the UK will not support Donald Trump’s planned blockade of the strait of Hormuz, but what will it offer instead?.
