Trump wins: where the hell do we go from here? w/ Katy Balls + Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP
Thu, 7 Nov 2024
It’s a dark, dark day for the world. Donald Trump - a convicted criminal no less - has been elected 47th US president in a shocking political resurrection. Nish and Coco are joined by the Spectator’s political editor Katy Balls to discuss just how ready the UK Government is for Trump’s comeback and Kemi Badenoch’s leadership win. Later, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Labour MP and chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations, calls in to discuss her dismay at the US news and to Foreign Secretary David Lammy ruling out cash-based reparations for countries blighted by slavery.And with the Government announcing the first hike in tuition fees since 2017 - we want to hear from you. Are the increased fees or maintenance loans affecting you? Are you sick of paying off student loan repayments? How can we fix the crisis in higher education?

Full Episode
Okay, well, oh boy.
Just one foot in front of the other. It's okay. It's just another four years.
Could be quite a lot more than another four years.
Right. So not going to be okay then. Hi, this is Podsafe the UK. I'm Coco Kahn.
And I'm Nish Kumar. And oh shit, it happened.
Yeah, I'm still in shock. I'm still processing. How are you feeling?
Yeah, I mean, I'm feeling, I feel like I've been punched in the face.
Yeah.
And I've not been punched in the face for quite a while, which is a surprise because I'm quite annoying. But anyway, today we'll be discussing what the cataclysmic US elections mean for the UK with The Spectator's political editor, Katie Balls, and talking about the new Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch.
