Episode description
Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy look ahead to the day in British politics.
It's the day Sir Keir Starmer is due to deliver a speech which answers if globalisation as we know it is over, as financial markets plummet for a third day in a row following the announcement of Donald Trump’s trade tariffs.
Sam and Anne discuss what to expect from the speech following the prime minister’s weekend at Chequers with other world leaders discussing how to avoid an all-out trade war and the first projections of the impact from tariffs on the UK.
They also discuss the prime minister’s decision to water down green policy on UK cars and ask if the decision is a 'quick-fix' which could scupper the UK's net-zero plans.
