As we await the return of MPs to Westminster next week in this

week's episode we look across the Atlantic and I've recorded a chat with David

Charter the Times New US editor who's only been in Washington for two weeks

and has already covered massive stories

including not one but two huge court cases involving former AIDS Sir Donald

Trump breaking on the same day. Before we come to that a reminder that you can come and see the Red Box

podcast being recorded live. We're going to be in Liverpool on September the 23rd

and in Birmingham on October the 1st. For tickets to those events go to my Timesplus

dot-co. UK and it's open to all time subscribers.

Then if that's not enough we're at the Cheltenham Literary Festival which is

sponsored by the Times and the Sunday Times. We're recording a live

podcast on October the 11th and then I'm doing a show called This is Not Normal

on October the 13th. Just go to the Cheltenf festivals. For all the details.

Right, back to this week's episode.

So David Charter arrives in Washington,

having previously spent seven years

Before that he had six years in Brussels where he wrote a book which essentially

predicted that Britain would end up leaving the EU and I talked to him about that.
