Foregone delusion – Start Your Week with Alex Andreou and Jacob Jarvis

Rishi Sunak is trying to spin his local election trouncing as best as he can – what bluster should we ignore this week? Plus, the latest from Gaza as Israel strikes Rafah. And, the Trump trial rolls on – while Xi visits Europe for the first time in five years. Alex Andreou talks Jacob Jarvis through the week ahead.  

• “There’s a sort of electoral ruthlessness to the Labour Party at the moment.” – Alex Andreou 

• “Sunak should call an election, he won’t, but he should.” – Alex Andreou  

• “If Sunak should do something then that usually suggests he won’t do it.” – Jacob Jarvis 

• “This is a critical moment for Netenyahu.” – Alex Andreou  

• “There is a weird mix of entitlement and scattergun strategy going on from Trump in his court case.” – Jacob Jarvis
