Starmer accused of hypocrisy after Trump meeting ...The Standard podcast

Sir Keir Starmer has met with the US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for the first time.

The meeting has sparked quite a bit of backlash though, considering what prominent Labour front benchers have said about the former president in the past.

Our Deputy Political Editor, Jitendra Joshi, discusses everything we know about the meeting so far, and shares his insight into whether this could be the beginning of an unlikely friendship.

In part two, our features & culture writer, Emma Loffhagen, explains the Sally Rooney divide amongst book lovers and critics. Plus, gives her review of Rooney’s latest novel Intermezzo.

You can listen to the full episode in the player above, find us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
