About this episode
Donald Trump says he is "very disappointed" that Keir Starmer didn't initially allow the US to use British airbases to attack Iran - a position the Prime Minister has now reversed. Should the UK resist being dragged into America's war? And would that threaten the 'special relationship'?
Hugo Rifkind unpacks the news and politics of the day with Libby Purves and Sebastian Payne.
