Have I seen anything from her? I haven't, which I'm kind of fine with. But I'm probably not the right audience because my entire X-Feed is just Rupert Lowe. Oh, no. Rupert Lowe and hardcore porn, I think. Weird combination.

don't try it don't do this fake news to me this is not fair but anyway we'll also be asking why the official opposition is missing in action So Zoe, it's lovely to have you back filling in for Nish this week. He's on tour in the States and you're here with me.

Well, before we get into the big news of the week, I need to tell you about this Elon Musk story. I hate talking about this man, obviously, but it's just a bit mad. So Musk is leading the US Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and he issued hundreds of thousands of federal employees with an ultimatum. And it basically said to respond to an email with the subject line...

what did you do last week? They had to respond to this or resign. So yeah, the email said, please reply with approximately five bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager. Musk then followed up on X, failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. So I guess Zoe, the question is, What have you been doing?

Do you want to know what I've been up to? Of course I do. I've done the greatest accomplishment of all time. I changed an NHS medical appointment. Do you know how hard that is? Yeah, I do.

I have to go into training every morning waking up like... Rocky music. Today, Coco, you are not going to let her hang up on you. You're going to phone at 8am. You're going to sit in that queue. You're going to press every option on the telephone menu until you get a human being. I'm very impressed.

Now, as we record on Wednesday, Starmer will be heading to Washington tomorrow for his first visit to the White House for the biggest test yet, really, of Starmer's diplomatic and negotiating skills. So, Zoe, what's the meeting going to be about?

Well, because Trump has been saying for a while that he wants NATO allies to spend more. And in effect, he got his wish. OK, it's not the amount that Trump wanted, but it's some move towards it. Do you think that will be enough to placate him?

Do you think the fact they chose the foreign aid budget rather than domestic budgets was because they know that they would be extremely unpopular? I've got a little statistic here that says that, you know, a YouGov poll found that 50% of Britain support an increase in defence spending.

But when asked what was more important, defence spending or public services spending, just 30% said it is more important to increase spending on defence. Hmm.

You know, when you look at what the foreign aid budget goes towards, yes, of course, there's subjects and projects that are, I would say, a question of ethics and morality, particularly in terms of refugees and asylum seekers. But it is also a form of soft power. Interestingly, David Lammy, when Donald Trump announced his cuts, he called it a strategic mistake, which is kind of strange.
