After a tough week, Keir Starmer’s been forced to publicly proclaim Rachel Reeves has his full support – and to hose down suggestions she won’t make the full parliament. Ed Balls and George Osborne weigh in on just how politically fatal it would be to ditch a Chancellor six months into the Labour leadership.
The second Trump presidency is now a matter of days away, so how will this new American political era play out on the world stage? Why are some Trump opponents approaching the Trump sequel with more acceptance this time around?
Finally, Ed and George are sharing their predictions for the looming annual World Economic Forum conference in Davos. This year, it’s coinciding with another big event – the US Presidential Inauguration. Has Davos become less relevant in recent years? How will issues like climate and DEI be addressed in response to the incoming President?
