Goodbye, Special Relationship… Start Your Week with Naomi Smith

Recriminations worsen over the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the UK’s indolent response to the refugee crisis. Can Dominic Raab survive as Foreign Secretary – and what does the debacle mean for Joe Biden’s presidency? Plus, get ready for COVID at the centre of healthcare forever. And does the Brexit-COVID logistics crisis mean that Christmas is already cancelled? Naomi Smith starts your week. 

• “Johnson doesn't want to hold Raab to any standards that he might have to face himself.”
• “Afghanistan is an enormous dent in Biden's ability to hold the anti-Trump coalition together.”
• “A quick glance at Farage's Twitter feed shows he's thrilled with the refugee situation.”

Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production
