Team Trump 2.0: who’s in president-elect’s new inner circle?

Listen on

Episode notes

The second incarnation of president-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet is taking shape.

The London Standard’s deputy political editor Jitendra Joshi reports on Tuesday that Team Trump 2.0 ushers in potentially dismal consequences for Ukraine, illegal immigrants and the global climate.

Trump has already announced a few cabinet-level appointments - so, who’s in?

Joshi joins us to discuss what we know about the Republican president-elect’s appointments so far, and whether there’s anyone who could be considered a voice of American unity in Trump’s new inner circle.

In part two, as The London Standard’s transport editor Ross Lydall reports that buses in central London are now nudging below 7mph - as detailed in London TravelWatch data - so, how is this impacting passenger journeys, now slower than a decade ago?

We also discuss the various factors contributing congestion, including on-demand minicabs and internet deliveries, plus whether cycle lanes impact traffic flow.
