• How Wrestlemania influenced Donald Trump’s cabinet picks
    Nov 20 2024

    Later in the episode we will hear from James Orr - the Cambridge University theologian and academic who was one of JD Vance’s guiding voices and a close confidant.

    But we start with the world of wrestling - what does it tells us about Donald Trump’s cabinet picks? And, how many of them have faced, or continue to face, allegations of sexual harassment ?

  • The Manhattan Project for our time
    Nov 13 2024

    Donald Trump has named a Fox News anchor as his pick for Defence Secretary. And the former governor of South Dakota, known better in this country as the woman who shot her own dog, is set to be his head of Homeland Security. What do his picks tell us about the direction of travel of the incoming administration? And why has he had to appoint not one, but two heads to run the Department of Government Efficiency?

    Nov 7 2024

    The Democrats are only just beginning to digest what went wrong and what a Trump presidency might mean for America for the second time around. But in Britain and Europe alarm bells are already off the charts. What does Trump mean for Starmer, for populism and for national security? Do we have to start doing more without Americas help?
