Donald Trump’s UK state visit dominates Westminster this week — and the Whitehall Sources team take you inside the drama.

🎙️ Calum Macdonaldm, former No.10 adviser Kirsty Buchanan and political strategist Jo Tanner break down:

  • The pageantry of Windsor Castle and how the royals played a key role in shaping Trump’s mood.
  • Trump’s joint press conference with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers — including clashes over immigration, Ukraine, Gaza and free speech.
  • Why Trump’s suggestion that the UK military should tackle illegal migration caused such controversy.
  • The “Epstein question” — and how aides on both sides likely pre-planned the response.
  • Whether holding this state visit so early in Trump’s second term was a risk for the UK.

Plus: chaos on the British left. Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana’s attempt to launch a new party has descended into a public bust-up, with accusations of sexism, unauthorised membership drives, and comparisons to The Life of Brian. What does this tell us about the prospects for a genuine left-wing alternative to Labour?
