UK Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer became the latest world leader to head to Washington to meet President Donald Trump. If the newspaper headlines are anything to go by, he's had a very successful visit. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss that, and how the Labour Party is responding to cutting the aid budget to fund increases in defence spending. This episode was recorded (minutes) before Anneliese Dodds resigned from the government over the aid cuts.
