Elon Musk and Donald Trump sat down for a much-hyped live interview on X on Monday night.

In part two, The Standard’s Junior Fashion Editor, Joe Bromley, joins us to discuss whether British men are ready for the return of budgie smugglers? Following a surge in purchases of the controversial swimwear. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
