Summary
Donald Trump has overseen the formation of the ‘Board of Peace’, a project which started as an effort to rebuild Gaza but has now morphed into a world peacekeeping force that could rival the United Nations.
But Keir Starmer and other European leaders have snubbed the invitation over Vladimir Putin’s possible involvement.
Allister tells Camilla and Tim why he’s “sick of Trump” and his "disgusting" diplomacy over Greenland, and why the Board of Peace won’t work.
Plus, is Keir Starmer’s worst nightmare about to come true? Labour MP Andrew Gwynne is set to resign, paving the way for Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to return to Westminster and make a bid to topple the PM.

| 0:07.0 | Donald Trump says he's done a deal for Greenland and he's bringing peace to the world with a board that contains Vladimir Putin and Tony Blair. |
| 0:19.0 | Right-wing telegraph columnist Alastair Heath, |
| 0:21.9 | once a fan of the Donald, |
| 0:23.4 | now says he's suffering from imperial delirium, |
| 0:26.6 | and he's had enough. Do you agree? |
| 0:28.6 | Also, pretty boy, Andy Burnham |
| 0:30.3 | might be slipping back into Parliament by way of a by-election. |
| 0:33.4 | It's Keir Stammer's worst nightmare. |

| 0:51.3 | Tim, we need to talk about Trump again. |
| 0:53.7 | We've basically covered the Donald all week, |
| 0:55.7 | but I think it is merited because he has now come up with his Board of Peace. |
| 0:58.9 | The Board of Peace. Tim, what's your understanding of the Board of Peace? |
| 1:04.0 | It's a movable feast, but the idea is it was established to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza. |
| 1:11.2 | But it seems to have evolved into a sort of shadow UN, a peacekeeping force, |
| 1:18.3 | which might contain the membership of not just Tony Blair, but Vladimir Putin. |
| 1:24.7 | And for that reason, European leaders are staying out of it, including Kier |

| 1:35.5 | the thumb of Donald Trump, who can remain chairman of it for as long as he likes, and he can veto |
