Three things from Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy to start your political day.

What the government is having to deal with: the unpredictability of Donald Trump. Just as Britain signs up to troops in Ukraine if there’s a peace deal, it’s having to use its best diplomatic language on what the president is thinking about Greenland.

What the government wants to deal with: publishing the road safety strategy, which is something every driver will have a view on.

What some government sources are thinking: Sam’s got a story about whether AI is to blame for a massive rise in the number of Written Parliamentary Questions in the Commons.

You can vote for Politics at Sam and Anne’s in the people’s choice category at the Political Podcast Awards here.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
