In this episode of Talking Politics, we get an exclusive reaction from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer after we found an eye-opening clip from the ITV News politics podcast archive where he said he wanted Donald Trump out of power.
Starmer made the comments to Paul Brand in 2020 for the Acting Prime Minister podcast, when he said he couldn’t choose between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin - and wanted to “change them both”.
Robert Peston put those comments to the PM in a sitdown interview, while questioning Starmer on the UK’s response to the markets chaos sparked by Donald Trump’s international tariffs.
Anushka Asthana meanwhile grills Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall on our audience’s huge concerns about the impact of the government’s welfare cuts.
Then after a brief quiz, Anushka and Paul discuss whether Keir Starmer’s hopes of being a disruptor in politics are exactly what a majority of voters don’t want.
