Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

178. Sadiq Khan: This Government Frustrates Me
Q: What do you think about the current government's devolution program?
I'm frustrated by the lack of progress, as devolving powers to mayors is essential for effective local governance and growth.
178. Sadiq Khan: This Government Frustrates Me
Q: How different does it feel to be a Labour Mayor of London under a Labour government?
It's a transition, as I've had to work with Tory Prime Ministers for most of my tenure, but it's challenging to explain the needs of London to the current government.
176. Trump’s Tax Cuts: America’s Liz Truss Moment
Q: How worried were you when you saw that?
There's definitely a concern about the trajectory for the US deficit and US debt, which is not being addressed in Congress.
176. Trump’s Tax Cuts: America’s Liz Truss Moment
Q: Could the US have a Liz Truss moment?
We don't know how far the US can push, but it has its exorbitant privilege and can get away with things that most other governments can't.
176. Trump’s Tax Cuts: America’s Liz Truss Moment
Q: Which is more important for you, tax bills or tariffs?
I think it is the fiscal package because it has the potential to significantly impact the US government's debt and overall market pressure.
