Will Obama force out Biden?

President Joe Biden made not one, but two major gaffes at NATO this week, accidently calling Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘Putin’ before correcting himself and later referring to his Vice President Kamala Harris as ‘Trump’ without realising. As former president Barack Obama and senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi were reported to have spoken about their “concerns” over Biden, could the plot to push him out of the White House succeed before the month is out? Camilla and Kamal discuss the international fall out with US editor Tony Diver. Plus Ian Acheson, former prison governor and author of Screwed – Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It, joins the podcast to explain the challanges Labour face in tackling the prison crisis as thousands of prisoners are set to be released early to avoid ‘total breakdown of law and order’ - and what are the cultural sacred cows you'd like to slaughter?Read:Oasis?

Can Labour be trusted on defence?

Sir Keir Starmer has jetted off on his first overseas trip as Prime Minister - to the NATO summit in Washington. But it all comes as he committed to an ‘ironclad guarantee’ to raise defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP, but refused to say when. So how serious are Labour about protecting Britain? Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Turner speak to Telegraph Defence Editor Con Coughlin to find out if Labour’s plans for our armed forces go far enough.There’s also the small matter of the public finances being in ‘the worst state since World War 2’ according to Rachel Reeves.

How unwell is Biden really?

In a remarkable turn of events, the White House medical team has had to clarify that a neurologist who visited eight times in as many months was not there to treat President Joe Biden, following angry exchanges in a media briefing with Biden’s press secretary.
