Quiet Riot With Europe we stand: Foreign policy special with Anneliese Dodds
As the UK and Europe push back on Trump's overseas adventures, Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou are joined by MP for Oxford East, Dame Anneliese Dodds, to look at the Iran latest, the Ukraine defence partnership, and the government's pivot towards the EU. Starmer is, for once, in tune with the public mood. Can foreign policy repair his domestic reputation?
Plus, we talk overseas aid (or the lack of it) with Anneliese who resigned her cabinet position in International Development over aid cuts, and is also Chair of the Sudan and South Sudan parliamentary group.
And, despite that packed agenda, we've still got time for a bit of Wokey Dokey action ... and some surprising news about yoyo dieting.
