Carolyn Quinn and guests debate if President Trump's state visit to the UK should go ahead

Carolyn Quinn discusses President Trump's state visit to the UK with former minister Alistair Burt, MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Dan Jarvis and RUSI head Karin von Hippel.

Amid controversy over Donald Trump's immigration ban, former Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt tells the programme that the President's proposed state visit to the UK should be postponed. Carolyn Quinn discusses the issue with her panel: the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, Labour's Dan Jarvis, and Karin von Hippel, Director General of the defence think tank, RUSI. Rafael Behr of the Guardian provides a guide to the key political events coming up this week. John Beesley reports from Birmingham on the government's counter-extremism initiative, Prevent. And Sam Macrory interviews a victim of loneliness - as colleagues of the murdered MP Jo Cox prepare to launch a commission to look into the problem, in memory of Jo.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
