About this episode

The episode discusses King Charles's speech in Congress and its potential impact on Trump's views regarding the UK and Europe, alongside insights into the upcoming 2024 election.

King Charles delivered a perfectly pitched speech in Congress, with many barely coded messages. But will Trump, charmed by royalty, change his attitude to the elected government in the UK or to those in the rest of Europe?  Plus Morgan McSweeney, Peter Mandelson, and the build up to the 2024 election.
