Inside Trump’s Davos Moment

<p>Fresh off a week of anxiety and uncertainty, George Osborne reports to Ed Balls from Davos to give the inside track on what it was like to see Trump’s address in person and the murmurs from the Alps about what the President really wants. The pair also look at the reactions from Keir Starmer, European allies, and the Mark Carney speech that got everyone talking.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>The pair then reflect on Robert Jenrick’s sacking and defection to Reform one week on. Has he truly put national interest above personal interest? Should the two parties come to an agreement to reunite the right of British politics? And could the defection of other Tories such as Andrew Rosindell help Kemi Badenoch change the party for the better?</p><br /><p>Ed has also been on the European continent this week, visiting Versailles for the annual Franco-British Colloque. He speaks of his insights into growing acceptance of victory for the far-right National Rally in next year’s presidential election, a rumoured Macron return in 2032, and the need, now more than ever, for a stronger relationship across the Channel.</p><p>We love hearing from you, so please don’t forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question.</p><br /><p>Thanks for being a valued member of our Kitchen Cabinet or a Gold subscriber.
