Hunt’s budget hasn’t shifted the dial for the Tories like they wanted – what will they try next? Plus, we’ve got curious tales of Boris Johnson’s trip to Venezuela and of a doctored Royal family photo… Plus, the latest from Biden vs. Trump and an update on the situation in Gaza. Alex Andreou talks Jacob Jarvis through the news to look out for this week.
• “We know the Tories are headed for defeat, and because Sunak is too afraid to call an election, we are forced to watch them mess up again and again.” – Alex Andreou
• “The moment Biden said ‘we’re in campaign mode’, Trump was on the back-foot.” – Alex Andreou “
• It’s not clear if Trump is asking for money to fund his campaign, or his legal bills.” – Alex Andreou
• “The negotiations about a ceasefire seem to be stalling.” – Alex Andreou
