The Chancellor flew to the US for a meeting of the International Monetary Fund this week, just as the agency downgraded Britain’s growth prospects for the coming year.

Rachel Reeves is there partly to move along trade talks with Washington, but the White House is embroiled in chaos of its own. Markets are in turmoil over tariffs, while defence secretary Pete Hegseth is embroiled in another Signal messaging saga.

Kamal and Camilla are joined by former Trump national security advisor (turned vocal critic) John Bolton, who says the president “doesn’t have ideas; he has reactions”.
