The Andrew Neil Report. First Edition!
I start by laying out my stall in terms of what I hope this podcast will achieve — a global perspective on politics, geopolitics and economics placing events in the context of worldwide trends.
My first guest is Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of books on the Crashes of 1929 and 2008 (that one turned into The Big Short movie). We look at what happened then to see how close we are to another (AI-inspired?) Crash today.

UK Def Sec resigned today due to UK's risible defence plans. Yesterday at PM Questions the leader of the opposition, Kemi Badenoch, used all her 5 questions about the defence budget. Which is interesting...

Trump just said US will hit Iran again today 'watch the news'. Says Tehran is 'tapping the US along' - US slang for strong them along. #IranWar

50 members of Somaliland's special forces have undergone training in Israel acc to Israeli media. No confirmation fm Israel but seems likely. If so-part of growing ties between the two countries after Israel became the 1st state to officially recognise Somaliland late last year.

The need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for both sides, along with a dozen other global pressures, means cooperation is no longer optional.

Look, I won't comment on individual cases, but to waiting news reporters and politicians - stop saying 'Look' at the start of each sentence. Let me be absolutely clear, do not say 'listen' either. Hard working families don't like it. #TVgibberish
