Amol and Nick look at whether the language of politics might now grow less heated after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump – and what effect the shooting will have on the US election.
Keir Starmer will put the disappointment of the European Championships result behind him and look forward to this week’s King’s Speech – but will he face his own problem from the left wing?
Plus, pollster and friend of the podcast James Kanagasooriam joins Amol to get into the data and dispel the myths surrounding the general election results.
