Ashley Prime, former UK diplomat who has served all over the world, including in China, Italy, Jamaica, and Canada, joins Steve to discuss King Charles’s visit to America, if he will push back on Trump and defend Canada, PM Starmer’s plunging popularity, what Brits think of the Iran War, and why many people feel “politically homeless” in the UK. They also discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine, the “useful idiots” in Britain, why PM Starmer – after Brexit – is saying Britain needs to get closer to Europe, how Brexit killed the Tories, PM Starmer’s failure to stick up for Canada during Trump’s initial 51st state rhetoric, and if Canada can still rely on Britain.
