Beth Rigby on Raab and Zahawi. Plus, guest Mike Pompeo
About this episode
Sky News’ political editor Beth Rigby sits down with Mike Pompeo, United States secretary of state during President Trump’s administration, and a former CIA director – the first person to have held both positions.
He says President Xi of China is a bigger threat to the world than Russia’s Vladimir Putin – and accuses President Biden of weakness and allowing the war in Ukraine to happen.
Plus, producer Mollie Malone joins to debrief on the political stories from the UK this week, including accusations against Deputy PM Dominic Raab and Conservative chairman Nadhim Zahawi’s sacking, as well as answering more listener emails.
