In today’s episode of The Daily T, ahead of the United Nations summit in New York, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley look at the numerous points of disagreement (from Chagos, to Israel, North Sea drilling and Iran) between Andy Burnham and Donald Trump as the leaders meet face-to-face for the first time.

Camilla and Tim discuss what Burnham needs to do to reaffirm the Special Relationship the UK has with the United States, and how – unlike Keir Starmer – Burnham has nothing to offer Trump during this visit in terms of royal diplomacy.
