Buckle up everyone. 

Donald Trump has won the US presidential election and will return to the White House after an extraordinary campaign featuring criminal convictions, assassination attempts, shocking language, and so much more.

So what does this tell us about the US? What does it mean for the UK? And how might the world change in the years to come? Scarlett Maguire of JL Partners, the pollsters that called the numbers right, and Michael Martins, a former US Embassy adviser, join the podcast team to explain an extraordinary week.

Plus: Kemi Badenoch is the new leader of the Conservative party. We’ll take a look at what this means for the opposition.

And finally: another huge story - well, at least for some parts of the IfG. A new ministerial code has been published. We’ve read it and will give you the lowdown.

Alex Thomas presents.

With Cath Haddon and Sachin Savur.

Produced by Candice McKenzie
