Summary

Beth, Ruth and Harriet work out what Donald Trump’s second presidency will mean for the UK as they debrief the American election. 
  
They heard from one of Theresa May’s advisors who had to deal with Trump when he was last in the White House and Harriet offers advice to Sir Keir Starmer. 
  
She says: “We've got to invite him on a state visit... (it’s) key for our economy and our security.” 
  
They also explain how his approach to trade deals could cost the British economy and what his leadership might mean for the war in Ukraine. 
  
Plus, there’s still time to look over Kemi Badenoch’s first PMQs as Conservative leader.
