TALKING POLITICS

Mrs May Goes to Washington

After another tumultuous week, we talk about Britain's place in the world under a Trump presidency.  How much leverage does Theresa May have in Washington?  What might a Trump administration want in return?  And what does 'global Britain' really mean post-Brexit?  Plus we're joined by Glen Rangwala to discuss the implications of Trump's arrival in the White House for US policy towards the Middle East.  With Helen Thompson, Aaron Rapport and Chris Brooke.

Coronavirus! Climate! Brexit! Trump! Politics has never been more unpredictable, more alarming or more interesting: Talking Politics is the podcast that tries to make sense of it all. Every week David Runciman and Helen Thompson talk to the most interesting people around about the ideas and events that shape our world: from history to economics, from philosophy to fiction. What does the future hold? Can democracy survive? How crazy will it get? This is the political conversation that matters. Talking Politics is brought to you in partnership with the London Review of Books, Europe's leading magazine of books and ideas.
