How Long Before Trump CAVES on His Tariffs?!

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has just crashed 13% — marking its worst day since the 1997 Asian market crisis. The FTSE 100 has plummeted in the UK, Goldman Sachs has raised the probability of a US recession, and members of the American government are now publicly clashing over what comes next.

In today’s episode, we ask: is this genuinely the outcome Donald Trump intended? Is he still maintaining that his strategy is working — or is this all part of a calculated collapse to force the rest of the world to the negotiating table? It can’t be both.

We also examine Keir Starmer’s plan for economic growth in the face of global volatility. What trade deals should Britain now be pursuing? Are Labour’s fiscal rules still viable under these circumstances?

Later in the episode, we ask why Israel has blocked two UK Members of Parliament from entering the country — and what it tells us about diplomatic relations right now.
