The Cost of Defiance: Can the UK Survive the Trump Effect?

Is Britain’s post-Brexit plan coming undone? As the US torpedoes the OECD’s global tax deal, the UK’s fiscal strategy is left in limbo—was it too quick to play by the rules? Meanwhile, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is shaking up the political landscape, but with public regret over Brexit at an all-time high, where does that leave the country? And on defence, while Lithuania and Estonia ramp up spending under Trump’s “constructive pressure,” Britain dithers—will Labour’s caution leave the UK exposed? Host Marc Sidwell is joined by defence expert Robert Fox and US politics specialist James Boys to break it all down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
