23:00Now PlayingWhat does a war thousands of miles away mean for your bills at home?
In this episode, we break down how the escalating conflict with Iran (and Donald Trump’s aggressive approach) is already hitting the UK economy.
Oil prices have surged, global supply routes are under threat, and energy costs are rising fast. There’s even warnings that household bills could jump by hundreds of pounds and stay that high for months.
So what does that mean for you? In this episode, Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman ask:
🟣 Are we heading for another cost of living crisis?
🟣 Can the government afford to step in again? Or is that no longer possible?
🟣 Should support go to everyone, or only the most vulnerable?
🟣 And is Keir Starmer stuck in between a rock and a hard place between global pressure and domestic expectations?
They also unpack the growing tension between Keir Starmer and Donald Trump, from disagreements over military involvement to questions about leadership on the world stage. So how much control does any prime minister really have when global crises hit this hard?
