Joining “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg” is always fun. Today's conversation ranged from the royal family to Ed Sheeran via the budget. My contribution: to argue (probably in vain) for a serious look at welfare spending. Watch the show here: bbc.in/4izDE7x Photo: JEFF OVERS/BBC

I sat down with Elon Musk for The Insider this week. We discussed the future of AI—but also his foray into politics and his attitude towards Europe. Our exchange was extended and at times heated. Tune in on Thursday at 6pm London time (1pm New York): bit.ly/4fsnd9Q Photo: Cathlin McCullough

I enjoyed chatting with my old friend, @jheil.bsky.social, on his “Impolitic” podcast. He was as punchy as ever in a conversation that ranged from the fallout of the war with Iran to the fact that the British army has more horses than tanks. Listen to the episode: bit.ly/426IpvT

In the latest edition of The World Ahead, I consider what 21st-century geopolitics may look like in 2026. In global politics 2025 was the year when an old order ended. In the coming year, the contours of the new world will become much clearer econ.st/4qTQoYd
