Ben Wright and guests discuss the re-election of Donald Trump and what it means for the UK

Ben Wright discusses a second Trump term with Labour MP Meg Hillier, Conservative Neil Shastri-Hurst, foreign affairs expert Professor Anand Menon and journalist Rosa Prince

Ben Wright is joined by the Labour MP and Chair of the Treasury Select Committee, Dame Meg Hillier; Conservative backbencher Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst; and Anand Menon - Professor of Foreign Affairs and Director of the UK in a Changing Europe think tank. They discuss the implications of a second Trump presidency for UK trade and defence, and whether his conclusive election win will spur populist politics elsewhere. Rosa Prince - deputy editor of Politico - brings additional insight and analysis, and Theresa May's former chief of staff, Fiona Hall, talks to Ben about dealing with Donald Trump first time round in the White House. The panel guests also consider the legalisation of assisted dying, ahead of publication of a private member's Bill on the issue.
