About this episode
As the US sides with Russia and North Korea in a key vote at the UN, it’s clear the world order is shifting.
Under pressure from Donald Trump, Keir Starmer committed today to upping Britain's defence spending to 2.5pc of GDP by 2027 - an extra £13.4bn a year.
The announcement comes at the PM prepares to head to Washington, hot on the tails of Emmanuel Macron who shared a few eye-popping moments with the President.
Camilla and Gordon ask whether Starmer can forge a role for Britain in Trump’s global vision and unpack Tory leader Kemi Badenoch’s first major foreign policy speech.
Plus, what does tax on farmland have to do with global politics? NFU President Tom Bradshaw explains why Labour’s inheritance tax raid is a disaster for British (food) security.
