The King's speech to both houses of the United States congress this week has been hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as a triumph, and it was also a masterclass in gentle opposition, pointedly rebuking Donald Trump at several points, to enthusiastic applause in the chamber.

Nigel and Sarah discuss its significance, and also look ahead to next week's elections, and the importance in politics of being able to count.

Presented by Nigel Fletcher and Sarah Southern
