Thursday, 19 March, 2026
Welcome back to Commons People, the podcast that makes politics easy.

Join Kevin Schofield and Kate Nicholson as they dive deep into how the war is having a knock-on effect on the UK’s cost of living already, how it's impacting the UK-US special relationship and whether it's also reshaping other international alliances and existing wars, like Ukraine.Timecodes00:00 – Introduction04:11 – How did we get here?10:08 – What does the Strait of Hormuz have to do with things?13:37 – Trump and NATO17:36 – Will the Gulf countries become more pro-Ukraine?21:32 – Will the King's state visit go ahead?23:30 – The knock-on effect on the UK cost of living26:47 – How long is the war going to last?30:57 – Will any countries join the war?35:02 – Bluffer's guide36:30 – OutroYou can watch full episodes on YouTube @HuffPost-UK.
