Sean Farrington explores UK business in the US while discussing political insights and the spending habits of marathon runners.

Sean Farrington asks a UK company what it's like doing business in the US as King Charles and Queen Camilla make their way over the Atlantic. Elsewhere, we're joined by the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer as we hear from another of the main political parties in the run-up to the local elections. And we take a look at how much runners spend on their gear, after tens of thousands took part in the London Marathon.
