Defending ourselves: Ukraine, Trump and Trident
As Keir Starmer prepares for talks with Trump, the team asks if the First Minister鈥檚 backing of the PM on defence should surprise us. With Martin Geissler and Laura Miller.
The First Minister has taken aim at Nigel Farage, calling him an 'accomplice' to Russia, and backed Keir Starmer, who is raising defence spending ahead of talks with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
The 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 David Wallace Lockhart tell us what John Swinney鈥檚 attack on the Reform UK leader is all about. And we ask former SNP MP Stewart McDonald if Ukraine has changed his party's tune on defence 鈥� and whether the mood is shifting on the Trident nuclear weapons system.
And Laura shows Martin how firm her handshake is.
