    Trump versus Starmer, Starmer versus slavery reparations
    Oct 25 2024

    Does the fact that Donald Trump now thinks Keir Starmer’s Labour Party are actively interfering in the US election matter? The Matts consider how a story that should be a nothingburger has the potential to upset relations between the UK and the US for years to come. In Part 2, the Matts discuss whether or not Britain should pay reparations to the descendants of the slave trade from which this country profited so much. Also - details of how to see the Matts in the flesh on November 25! Enjoy
