    The Week... After Iran’s attack on Israel

    The Week... After Iran’s attack on Israel
    Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News's Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, guide you through their top predictions for the next seven days in British politics. 
      
    With Parliament returning after the Easter break, this week Jack and Sam discuss the government’s response to Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack against Israel – and how it will get across that it supports Israel’s right to self-defence but also wants a de-escalation of tensions. 
      
    They also discuss where the claims about deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner’s tax affairs go from here. 
      
    They look forward to the final stages of the Conservative’s Rwanda Bill; the fallout from the Westminster honeytrap scandal; and a vote on anti-smoking laws are all up for debate this week.

    Turn That Crown Upside Down

    Turn That Crown Upside Down
    The Royal Family are experiencing their worst year in decades. Is it time we wound down the Monarchy not just for our sake but for their sake too? Or are things best left the way they are? Plus, Boomers (not all of them we’ll add) are “used to having everything its own way”, says the Economist, but times are changing. Has the time of the Millennials finally come? • “The Monarchy doesn’t provide a service like the BBC or the NHS but I think it’s rational, because it’s been there for such a long time, for people to not want to get rid of it.” – Rafael Behr • “Even if you just look at the makeup of Congress there really aren’t a lot of millennials present.” – Yasmeen Serhan • “Gen X really are the absolute waster generation.” – Rafael Behr We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow  www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison, with Yasmeen Serhan and Rafael Behr.

    A court rules Trump has no presidential immunity

    A court rules Trump has no presidential immunity

    The unanimous decision by the court of appeal in Washington has declared that Donald Trump has no presidential immunity.

    This means Special Counsel Jack Smith can now proceed apace with his indictment of Trump over attempted election interference.

    What does this mean for Trump legally?

    What will happen to the highly debated US border deal?

    And later to hear from Ambassador John Bolton on whether military intervention by the US could make a Trump comeback more likely.
