27:56Now PlayingAva sits down with Labour MP Steve Witherden, the politician who made headlines after standing up to Donald Trump at PMQs last week. He challenged the government’s stance on US foreign policy, human rights, and global accountability. Steve, MP for Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr, has quickly become one of the most outspoken voices in Westminster since his election in 2024.
In this interview, Ava asks Steve why he chose to confront Trump during Prime Minister’s Questions, what he was hoping to achieve with his line of questioning, and how he views the controversy surrounding ICE and the killings in Minneapolis that sparked international outrage. We dive deep into his perspective on US–UK relations, the role of human rights in diplomatic engagement, and what responsibility political leaders should show when confronting foreign policy crises.
Steve also opens up about his views on law enforcement accountability, Trump’s global influence, and leadership of the Labour Party (including his take on Andy Burnham).
