from The Pat Kenny Show

King Charles’ address to Congress this week landed at a delicate moment in UK‑US relations - a relationship that’s close, occasionally strained, and shaped as much by tone and symbolism as by policy.

Joining Pat to discuss is Derek Mooney, a former ministerial adviser and speechwriter.
