Britain with the brakes off, America at the abyss

from Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government · host Institute for Government

The pace of British politics isn’t slowing down. A big international summit for Keir Starmer. Devastating Covid inquiry headlines. And a King’s Speech full of bills. But all this is nothing compared to the US. President Biden – now isolating with Covid – is under pressure to withdraw from the 2024 race, and his rival Donald Trump survived, by millimetres, an assassination attempt.  The FT’s Lucy Fisher hot-foots it from Blenheim Palace to join the podcast team to make sense of big events either side of the Atlantic.   Presented by Hannah White, with Alex Thomas and Rosa Hodgkin www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk  Learn more about your ad choices.
