- Description
- In a dramatic turn, Parliament has been recalled to urgently debate the future of British Steel. In Scunthorpe, 2,700 jobs hang in the balance after the Chinese-owned steelworks declared its blast furnaces financially unsustainable. With thousands more jobs across the supply chain at risk, this isn’t just about steel — it’s about the future of Britain’s industrial heartlands.
Earlier this week, Keir Starmer declared the UK has entered a “completely new world” — promising to rewire the state. But how does that square with his recent pledge to create a smaller, more agile government, as he told The News Agents last month?
In this special report, Lewis Goodall travels to Scunthorpe, a town on the brink, to explore whether this moment marks the end of the era of globalisation, and the rise of a more active state taking control of vital national industries.
What does this mean for Britain’s economy, politics, and working-class communiti...

- Description
- As Donald Trump announced a “pause” on his tariffs policy, his own trade negotiator was being grilled by Congress. Who knew what, and when? Did Trump insiders have advance knowledge of the reversal — and use it to their advantage? Or was Trump flying solo, leaving his team in the dark?
Trump is trying to spin the tariff U-turn as a strategic win. But Wall Street's reaction — with stock markets soaring — suggests the opposite: that the tariff trauma is over. Has Trump just boxed himself in? And will anyone trust his next move?
Later in the episode: Trump is now launching investigations into two former officials, accusing them of treason for speaking the truth about the 2020 election. His revenge campaign continues.
Plus, Lewis travels to Scunthorpe, ahead of a major decision on the future of British steel.

- Description
- Trump’s tariffs are crashing global markets — and now, China’s retaliation is adding fuel to the fire. As stock markets reel and investors dump assets in record numbers, something even more alarming is happening: the U.S. bond market is collapsing. And when Greece starts looking like a safer bet than America, alarm bells start ringing.
Confidence in the U.S. government is plummeting. So, is Donald Trump following the same doomed path as Liz Truss? Could his economic strategy lead to financial self-immolation? And if so… what happens next?
Later in the episode: why the Birmingham bin strikes are about more than just rubbish — and why they could soon spread across England. What’s really at stake?

- Description
- As Trump threatens to double tariffs on China, the trade war between two of the world's largest economies is rapidly intensifying. China has declared it will “fight to the end,” while Trump insists he won’t back down. With tensions rising, the world is watching: Will Trump be forced to admit this was a mistake? Who will blink first? And how will this escalating trade war impact the global economy, financial markets, and international relations?
Later, we speak to pollster Luke Tryl from More in Common about how voters in the UK are reacting to all this chaos — and how Keir Starmer is navigating the fallout. What does this mean for Britain’s position on the world stage?

- The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has just crashed 13% — marking its worst day since the 1997 Asian market crisis. The FTSE 100 has plummeted in the UK, Goldman Sachs has raised the probability of a US recession, and members of the American government are now publicly clashing over what comes next.
In today’s episode, we ask: is this genuinely the outcome Donald Trump intended? Is he still maintaining that his strategy is working — or is this all part of a calculated collapse to force the rest of the world to the negotiating table? It can’t be both.
We also examine Keir Starmer’s plan for economic growth in the face of global volatility. What trade deals should Britain now be pursuing? Are Labour’s fiscal rules still viable under these circumstances?
Later in the episode, we ask why Israel has blocked two UK Members of Parliament from entering the country — and what it tells us about diplomatic relations right now.

Trump's press secretary has now described it as a "clerical error" but they can’t get him home. What’s going on in America? Even Joe Rogan is appalled. Is anyone counting how many other citizens are being kidnapped and incarcerated without any due process?
Later, how are Trumps tariffs going down with Americans themselves? We speak to one car dealership about the havoc being wreaked.

- Description
- Declaring 'Liberation Day' for the USA, Donald Trump accused other countries of having "looted, pillaged, raped and plundered" America's economy. What he announced has sent tremors around the global economy and his own - Trump has set the stage for a global trade war.
His tariffs start at 10% and go up to as high as 74% for an unlucky few states like Bangladesh and Serbia. It’s mathematical spaghetti. The UK has avoided the higher EU rate of 20% - so do Leavers have a point when they tell us that Brexit saved us? Or is it all a bit more complicated than that? Later, why are Elon and Donald consciously uncoupling. Is Trump starting to see Musk as a loser?

Some, like The Telegraph, has declared Brexit the "best decision ever made" by the country, but when you crunch the numbers, Britain is looking more isolated than ever.

- It’s the eve of ‘Liberation Day’, and Donald Trump is once again threatening global tariffs — with the UK firmly in his sights. Could this be the final blow to Britain’s economy? And how should Keir Starmer respond to what may become a defining moment in UK–US trade relations?
We also unpack the surprising link between a free trade deal and a single anti-abortion protest — and how it’s now threatening international negotiations. We speak to a former Bank of England chief economist to break it all down.

- In this episode, we sit down with Sofia Nelson, a former classmate of JD Vance at Yale Law School and a guest at his wedding, for an exclusive, in-depth conversation about the man behind the headlines. As someone who knew JD Vance personally—before the bestselling book, before the politics, and before the national spotlight—Sofia offers rare insight into how he has changed over the years.
How did JD Vance transform from a thoughtful, introspective student into one of the most polarising figures in American politics today? What does she make of his recent actions, including his controversial trip to Greenland and increasing influence on foreign policy?
This is a unique look at JD Vance—not through soundbites or political spin, but through the eyes of someone who once knew him best.

- No sooner had the Chancellor sat down after her Spring Statement than Donald Trump announced to the world that he was slapping 25% tariffs on all cars imported into America. Car manufacturers are livid - and scared. And the OBR has warned that if the US goes further and imposes blanket tariffs, they could wipe out any short term prospect of growth in the British economy. With her room for manoeuvre already tight, could Rachel Reeves now have to rip up her latest plans? Are tax rises on the way? And is the UK going to be knocked about at the whim of Donald Trump and whatever he decides next?
Later, as the White House condemns criticism of the Yemen Signal security breach as “a witch hunt“, could it be that the US President is actually feeling more than a little bruised at the fallout from the revelations?

Students who’ve never lived under anyone’s rule but Erdogan are now fearful this spells the end of democracy in the once great bastion of free secular expression and economic growth.

- The chief justice of the US Supreme Court has issued a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump's demand to impeach a judge who ruled against his administration's controversial deportation of migrants.
Judge James Boasberg ordered a stop to the transfer of accused gang members to El Salvador. That ruling that was ignored, and Trump branded him a "troublemaker and agitator" who should be removed. In a rare statement, Justice Roberts insisted that impeachment was "not an appropriate response" to the disagreement, and it has led to unease in some Republican circles about the erosion of the authority of the judiciary.
The White House has also been targeting commercial law firms who have worked on cases that have cast Trump in a bad light. How far will the Trump administration push this war on the law? We speak to Gregg Nunziata, Executive Director of the Society for the Rule of Law, and former advisor to Marco Rubio.

- In dramatic fashion, The Sun reports that a leaked government memo claims that the UK's race to reduce carbon emissions could trigger a financial crash. Kemi Badenoch also ditched her party's commitment to net zero by 2050 this week, insisting that the target was now "impossible". So if the cross party consensus on Britain's climate targets are over - could Starmer's so far steadfast commitment to the green revolution come under pressure?
Later, as Steve Bannon suggests a plan is being cooked up that would see Donald Trump running for a THIRD presidential term, what would it mean for American democracy - and what would it mean for JD Vance, the Vice President already taking up pole position as the MAGA successor?

- It seems that everyone is talking about the Netflix hit drama 'Adolescence'. It has been viewed 24 million times in just a few days, and is topping the chart in the UK. It deals with raw teenage toxic masculinity - and it’s hit a nerve. Even the prime minister is watching it. As Gareth Southgate warns of the dangers to and from young men who’ve got tangled up in Andrew Tates world we ask why it’s suddenly become a talking point?
Later, is Trump being played by Putin? Is he bright enough to even know? And does driving a Tesla make you “a nazi twat“?

- Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke for an hour and a half today - could they bring the Ukraine conflict and closer to a sustainable peace? Or is the Russian president only interested in carving up Ukraine and taking the West for a ride?
While a ceasefire in Ukraine does appear to be edging ever so slightly closer, the fragile cessation in Gaza collapsed overnight. More than 400 Gazans were killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, as Israel launched a series of airstrikes on the strip. The White House confirmed that Washington had been consulted on the offensive. Trump's press secretary told reporters that: "All those who seek to terrorise not just Israel but the US, will see a price to pay, and all hell will break loose." Is Trump giving Benjamin Netanyahu licence to act with impunity in Gaza? And why is the British government contradicting itself on whether Israel is committing war crimes?

- Keir Starmer says he has a "duty" to fix welfare - and has described the current benefits system as "unsustainable" and "indefensible". But many of his own backbenchers fear that the noble rhetoric is an attempt to mask little more than a savings drive, and the backlash is growing.
Andy Burnham became the latest Labour figure to voice his concerns, and there are indications that the government is looking again at some of the harshest measures expected to be unveiled tomorrow.
But is the PM right to be sounding the alarm on the rising welfare bill, if 1.8m more people are claiming sickness benefits than before the pandemic?
Later, Donald Trump claims to have overturned Joe Biden's presidential pardons - a power not bestowed upon any occupant of the Oval Office. Is he stretching the US constitution to breaking point?

The campaigns did not get to “hand pick” the people who worked with them from Facebook. And no one from Facebook was assigned full-time to the Trump campaign, or full-time to the Clinton campaign. Both campaigns approached things differently and used different amounts of support."

- Sarah Wynn-Williams was a senior Facebook executive for most of the last decade. She had a front row seat as Mark Zuckerberg rapidly expanded the company and he grew in power and prominence. And she became increasingly alarmed by both his and the company’s actions. Now, she is telling her story - her memoir, ‘Careless People’, is out today.
It has been described as “explosive”. Meta fiercely contest her account. And we’ve included their response too. Her allegations - on Facebook’s relationship with China, on its impact on elections, and on its decision making on content moderation and advertising, are striking. We thought you should listen for yourselves, to Sarah’s first ever broadcast interview.
A spokesperson for Meta responded to the claim:

The words of the chiselled ice hockey player and former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney who is Canada's new Prime Minister. He's unafraid of Trump, has mocked his economic policy, and his expansionist pretensions. He's put the Liberal Party of Justin Trudeau in poll position to win the next general election against the Conservatives, and against all the odds. Will he become the pin up for centrists around the world looking for a muscular response to Trump?
Later, what's happening in the Reform party? Nigel Farage and Elon Musk's favourite Reform MP, Rupert Lowe, have fallen out badly. Who's lying? And what impact is it having on the party's fortunes?
