Trump ally Charlie Kirk is shot dead
Description
A manhunt is ongoing for the “college age” killer of conservative activist and influential Trump ally Charlie Kirk, who died after being shot at a university in Utah yesterday. Donald Trump has blamed the killing on "radical left political violence" - yet next to nothing is known about the killer. What did Charlie Kirk stand for and why has his killing prompted this extraordinarily political outpouring?
And, the UK Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, has been sacked by the Prime Minister over links to his “best pal” and convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. James discusses what these links are and what the ramifications of the sacking will be with LBC’s Washington Correspondent Simon Marks and reporter Henry Riley.
