DUP leader Arlene Foster threw a spanner in the works of Brexit negotiations on Monday by essentially vetoing the proposed deal on the Irish border. What does it say about Theresa May and the UK government that they can be so easily thwarted, and how can any of this end well for the prime minister? Plus we’re discussing the US policy change on the status of Jerusalem, the battle for the soul of the Labour Party, and Time Magazine’s choice for Person of the Year. All of that coming up on this week’s Update The State podcast. (Please note that today’s episode was recorded on Thursday night, prior to Friday’s apparent breakthrough in Brexit talks – but we think many of the points discussed about Theresa May’s weak position and the dilemmas facing Britain as it negotiates its exit from the EU are still entirely relevant, so we’ve left the episode in its original form.)
