Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to Donald Trump about the need for Iran to return to the negotiating table after Tehran’s warning of “everlasting consequences” for the US bombing raid on their nuclear sites.

On this episode, Sam and Anne discuss the key questions facing the UK government after the military action, including what escalation could look like and whether Britain is ready for the economic blowback.

Plus, they also discuss the government’s new industrial strategy, with eight industries singled out for support and a promise to help lower energy prices from 2027 for certain companies, though not for others. Sam and Anne discuss how it will be paid for.
