Summary
<p>Donald Trump and his Vice President JD Vance have set the cat amongst the pigeons as they criticise Europe and Ukraine this week. Ed Balls and George Osborne look back on a week that turned the world upside down. How do NATO members respond to perhaps the most unpredictable world leader ever known?</p><br /><p>Keir Starmer is just one world leader considering his next steps in Trumpworld. Is his vision for Britain as a bridge between the EU and the US working? And if he’s to follow through on his pledge of British troops in Ukraine, how on earth is he going to pay for it?</p><br /><p>And, perhaps the only country seeing a buck in the trend of Trump-style right-wing leanings, Canada is heading towards a federal election - and former Governer of the Bank of England, Mark Carney’s decision to run has shaken things up. Ed and George take stock of their friend’s campaign. </p><br /><p>This episode is brought to you by British Airways. </p><p>British Airways will take care of you over a lifetime of journeys.
