Also on the podcast, a look at the first PMQs following summer recess and the Tory leadership election.

    Is the UK still a 'staunch ally' of Israel?
    Sep 3 2024
    The fallout continues from the UK's decision to suspend some arms sale licenses to Israel.

    Patrick Gibbons speaks to Katy Balls and Michael Stephens, associate fellow at RUSI.
