Show Notes
Sunak is meant to have "won" the debate on Tuesday. So why has every Tory spokesperson had to spend the last two days defending him? Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith are joined on their new politics podcast by old friend Behind The Lines' Arthur Snell to talk through the debate fallout - and Farage's return.
And in Part II we focus on foreign policy. How will Trump's felony conviction affect the US election? We talk EXCLUSIVELY to former UK ambassador to the US, Sir Kim Darroch, whose sacking Trump demanded. Arthur Snell takes us through developments in Ukraine and Gaza. And we ponder why foreign policy - including repairing the Brexit damage has been entirely absent from the campaign. All this and regular features Wokey Dokey, The Week's Politics in 60 Seconds (we fail miserably), and Poll The Other One, in which we dive into three huge MRP polls.
Sir Kim Darroch on the Trump guilty verdicts: "I was actually on the M3 driving home when the news came through and I almost drove myself off the road."
