Will it make goods cheaper for people in the UK? What does it mean for the number of Indian students coming to the UK? And, does this change the UK鈥檚 approach to President Trump鈥檚 tariffs? Adam and Chris are joined by Faisal to discuss.

Also, Adam is joined by Professor Dame Jenny Harries as she steps down as head of the UK Health Security Agency. Adam asks her about; how prepared we are for future pandemics, Covid press conferences and why fewer people might be getting vaccines.
