Politics At Sam and Anne's

Donald Trump finally descends on Davos despite a delayed flight – and is set to dominate the day at the annual get-together of the global elite.
Sam and Anne reflect on his mega press conference prior to his departure – where he criticised Keir Starmer on the Chagos deal once again – and ask whether the PM will be missed in the Swiss Alps.
Anne has the latest on the ground, gathering intel from across the economic and political spectrum on Trump’s antics and the British position as well as the insane cost of a carafe of warm white wine.
The duo also consider if there’s division or unity on a response to potential tariffs over Greenland.
Plus, on the domestic front is yet another red-on-red battle about to commence?

And as they were recording – the latest Trump Truth Social post calls the UK Chagos Islands deal “an act of GREAT STUPIDITY”.
A move that’ll dominate the day – Sam explains how it’ll land in Westminster and Anne explains what people will be saying at Davos.
There’s also more u-turn talk after ministers confirm a consultation on banning social media for under-16s and Sam hears of possible changes to the plan to scale back jury trials.

Is the theme of anger and unhappiness dominating British politics and what, if anything, is the Prime Minister doing to quell the mood amongst his party and the public?
Sam has details of misery and irritation within the Labour ranks over plans to overhaul parts of the jury system to cut the courts backlog – but is another u-turn or rebellion on the horizon?
Elsewhere, will the assisted dying bill make it over the line before the Kings speech in May?

And, we get reaction from the shadow chancellor to the state of the UK's economy.
