+ <title>472. Is Trump’s Peace 'Plan’ Forced Surrender for Ukraine?</title>
+ <description>Who is really behind the White House 'peace plan' for Ukraine: Trump or Putin? Why isn't Europe taking the threat from Russia more seriously, and doing more to protect Ukraine? How does all of this relate to Russia’s hybrid warfare and the ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales taking pro-Russia bribes?

+ <title>471. Rory Stewart: How the Government Tried to Silence Me on Lockdowns</title>
+ <description>Why did Boris Johnson and the British government not only fail to listen, but actively try to suppress early warnings about the pandemic? How did groupthink and optimism bias cripple the UK's response? And is Britain's government structurally too slow to handle future threats like AI and Putin's increasing aggression in Europe?

With arguments breaking out amongst his MAGA fanbase, are we witnessing the splintering of Trump's electoral coalition?

+ <title>467. The Mamdani Method Explained: Could It Shock Britain?</title>
+ <description>How did a thirty four-year old democratic socialist win over New York, and can he actually follow through on his promise to transform the city?

Why did Donald Trump meet the President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and could his bulldozer approach to geopolitics actually be helping Syria?

+ <title>461. Question Time: The Tel Aviv Fan Ban & Japan’s New Thatcher</title>
+ <description>This episode has been edited to remove a discussion on the China spy case. The Rest Is Politics wishes to make clear that Mr Christopher Cash and Mr Christopher Berry were found not guilty of gathering and providing information prejudicial to the safety and interests of the state under the Official Secrets Act 1911 and have always maintained their innocence, categorically denying knowingly spying for China.
+
+
+
+Was banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans the right call? What does Prince Andrew’s latest downfall reveal about the royals? What will Sanae Takaichi's premiership mean for Japan?

+ <title>The Gun Lobby Responsible for Trump: Journey Through Time</title>
+ <description>Alastair is joined by historian and co-host of Goalhanger’s Journey Through Time, Sarah Churchwell, to discuss their new series on the History of The National Rifle Association.
+
+
+
+How did The National Rifle Association go from a sportsman’s organisation set up to improve marksmanship following the civil war to a for-profit group fighting gun regulation? Why did a convicted killer become one of the most influential figures in modern gun politics? How did the NRA gain so much control over the American President and the Supreme Court?

+ <title>337. Trump Returns: What Now?</title>
+ <description>Did Trump win it or did the Democrats blow it? What are the implications of a second Trump presidency for America and the rest of the world? Has rightwing populism delivered a fatal blow to liberal democracy?
+
+Catchup on the last of our three special US election livestreams. Alastair is joined by Dominic Sandbrook from The Rest Is History, Marina Hyde from The Rest Is Entertainment, and Anthony Scaramucci from The Rest Is Politics US, to unpack Trump’s historic comeback victory and grapple with what it means for all of us.
