In this week’s Talking Politics, Tom, Robert and Anushka discuss:
- Why Donald Trump cosying up to Vladimir Putin could soon pop Keir Starmer’s newfound confidence
- How a Trump-Putin deal would see Downing Street’s Ukraine strategy unravel
- The possible growth reboot for the British economy amid the defence spending hike
- The furious fallout from the government’s welfare reforms, both among listeners and inside Labour
- Whether Chancellor Rachel Reeves has lost control ahead of next week’s Spring Statement or 'emergency budget'
