The prime minister and his chancellor face a nervous morning as opposition parties react. Plus, Sam’s been inside The Spectator awards, where cabinet ministers Lucy Powell and Shabana Mahmood jovially took aim at some of their Labour colleagues – and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage vowed to take on Westminster’s elite. 👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne’s on your podcast app👈

Listen on * Spotify * Apple Music * Amazon Music * Sky News Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy look ahead to the day in British politics. It’s the day Sir Keir Starmer is due to deliver a speech which answers whether globalisation as we know it is over, as financial markets plummet for a third day in a row following the announcement of Donald Trump’s trade tariffs. Sam and Anne discuss what to expect from the speech following the prime minister’s weekend at Chequers with other world leaders, discussing how to avoid an all-out trade war and the first projections of the impact of tariffs on the UK. They also discuss the prime minister’s decision to water down green policy on UK cars and ask if the decision is a ‘quick-fix’ which could scupper the UK’s net-zero plans. 👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne’s on your podcast app👈

Listen on * Spotify * Apple Music * Amazon Music * Sky News 👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne’s on your podcast app👈 Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy debrief on Rachel Reeves’ spring statement – with the added twist of Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on all imported cars. The chancellor has planned to get her fiscal headroom back to £9.9bn with warnings that her buffer looks too small against global events – and, right on cue, the US president has upped his trade war. So is the economy stuck in a “doom loop” or is there a narrative that things could still “go okay” for Labour? Sam and Anne also discuss the re-emerging rumour that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is on the lookout for a senior economics adviser – and if the Labour rebellion gets bigger and louder with those harsher welfare cuts.
