Why Donald Trump Is Already Claiming Victory Over Andy Burnham

Title: Why Donald Trump Is Already Claiming Victory Over Andy Burnham
Runtime: 30:23
Date posted: 11 days ago
Description: As Andy Burnham takes over as prime minister, how will he get on with Donald Trump and what will their relationship mean for US-UK relations?

President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the people of Aberdeen are dancing in the streets because Burnham will open up North Sea Oil, and will "make the United Kingdom, from a Poverty Stricken Disaster, to one of the Richest Countries anywhere in the World!" But is Burnham as enthusiastic about drilling as Trump thinks he is? And what other issues could make or break their relationship?

After three US servicemen died over the weekend, will the US feel obliged to escalate the war with Iran to avenge their deaths? Is there a danger that they get locked into a cycle of escalation with Iran?

Plus, does Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey set the lights flashing on Gerry's woke radar?
