The King's Beach, Knives Out and An Education.

No, we're not talking through our favorite films.

We've got a stuffed episode of political news for you.

I'm Coco Khan.

I'm Nishkumar and this is Pod Save the UK.

This week we're pouring over King Charles's address at the state opening of Parliament.

We're diving into what Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gethings Resignation might mean for Kiestama and we're exploring the challenges

and opportunities that Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson, faces over the coming

years.

But first...

I was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about, you know, one of the big dangers in the world of course is nuclear proliferation, though of course the Biden administration doesn't care about it and I was

talking about you know what what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a

nuclear weapon and we were like maybe it's Iran you know maybe Pakistan already kind of counts and

then we sort of finally decided maybe it's actually the UK since labor just took over.

A fascinating first message from Donald Trump's newly appointed running mate, JD Vance in that clip from The Guardian.

To discuss this intriguing development, we're joined by the closest friend of the pod.

Welcome back to the show, Liz Bates. How are you? I guess I'm sort of more the official

pod stalker. We were just saying before it was kind of baby reindeer

vibes a little bit but you know maybe a sort of a gentler

version of that.

Potty reindeer.

Potty reindeer, yeah.
