Hi there, this is Matt Kelly, the editor-in-chief of the New European newspaper and one half of the

two mats podcast. Just before we get into the podcast, I want to run past you a proposal. I know that many

of you are listening to this podcast, you've heard about the New European, but you're not quite sure

whether you want to jump in and subscribe. Well, I'm going to make it very easy for you.

An offer now for limited time, one pound for your first month, just one pound, then five pounds a month after, if you like it, you can cancel any time.

You will be supporting great independent journalism and you'll be supporting this podcast.

So if you like the podcast, you'll love the

new European, go to the new European.com.com.com.com, dot UK, forward slash two mats. That's the number

two, M-A-T-T-S. That's the new European.com.com.com.com. This is the best offer you'll get

anywhere. So act now. It won't be there forever.

Hello and happy Sunday. Happy Sunday, one and all. Hope you having a great day so far.

It's the two mats podcast, the Q&A session. Brought to you by the wonderful subscribers

of the new European. And if you're not, why not? Anyway, let's dive straight in. First question

from Fiona Murray. Fiona asks, why oh, why isn't the state visit and invitation by King Charles

being cancelled? Hit him, that's Trump,

where it hurts his ego. Thank you, Fiona. It's a very good question. I think that's probably a

card. Now that the offer has been made, I think that's probably a card to keep up Starma and the

king's sleeve.

If things get really bad, this would be a good car to play.

Yes.

The trouble is, of course, that it's a not quite literally a nuclear option, but it is a massive.

It might well turn into a nuclear option.
