Power Struggle: Is Britain Heading For a Winter of Discontent?

As gas prices soar and energy providers go out of business, is Britain heading for another winter of discontent? Plus, how is the Republic of Ireland finding Brexit? Is there any sympathy for the UK in Brussels? Tony Connelly, Europe editor for Irish state broadcaster RTE, joins us to discuss. And are the French right to be angry about the new AUKUS alliance?

• “It doesn’t matter how political you are, if the pound in your pocket gets you less, people will be angry” - Marie Le Conte
