Today on the show, Fareed speaks with David Lammy, British Labour politician and Shadow Foreign Secretary, about the upcoming UK election in which Labour is expected to win in a landslide. They also discuss what a Labour government’s approach to a second Trump presidency would look like, as well as the UK’s foreign policy amid wars in the Gaza and Ukraine.
Then, The Economist’s Paris bureau chief Sophie Pedder joins the show to break down President Macron’s decision to call snap elections in France, and the risk this gamble poses for his party’s political future.
Finally, economics professor and author of “The Longevity Imperative” Andrew Scott explains how to navigate the promises and the challenges that come with our increasingly long lifespans, from promoting healthy aging to building multi-phase careers.
