Episode Trump climbdown: Has January been a wasted month

0:00 18:40

After President Trump’s dramatic tariff climbdown at Davos, the Prime Minister and European leaders will be breathing a sigh of relief – but has it left more questions than answers and can the UK claim any credit for the change in position?

Sam and Anne reflect on a month - primarily dominated by foreign issues and U-turns - and discuss whether if it was a missed opportunity for the government to push its priorities at home.

The duo also ponder the view of business on Starmer’s premiership and if they are calling for a change in leadership.

Plus, the peers in the Lords back a significant bill to ban social media for under 16s.
