The world is an uncertain place, but Sir Keir Starmer has seemingly risen to the occasion. The UK Prime Minister has had his best week since arriving in Downing Street, first meeting US President Donald Trump, then bringing together a host of European leaders for a security summit in support of Ukraine. He did though have to contend with the resignation of Annelise Dodds (something that happened after the recording of last week's show). Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss it all.
