Keir Starmer’s global adventures have grabbed headlines – and while some think he should spend more time at home, others say he's doing what he needs to do to revive the UK’s international image. Our panel wades into the debate. 

Plus, is local media dead and buried or can upstarts revive it? Jim Waterson was the Media Editor for The Guardian before setting up London Centric, a “modern outlet for London”. Can you have a healthy national media without strong local roots? 

And in the Extra Bit for Subscribers, Trump 2.0 is the sequel nobody wanted. We discuss sequels that were actually good to distract our minds from the story unfolding in the US.
