This week we talk Huawei but pronounce it Waway, cybersecurity, China, a bit of Brexit, and, of course, Leeds United...

This week, we disagree (slightly) about the legacy of President George H.W. Bush, talk about Trumpism, high fives at the G20, Macron and the media, and then the sexual politics of ambient temperatures. We even try out best not to mention the ‘B’ word. We want your questions or comments: twtwpodcast@gmail.com Title music: Hogan Grip, ‘Stance Gives You Balance’. (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Hogan_Grip/)

An extra episode for listeners to The What & The Why. This week we had a chance to talk with Rob Goldstone, the author of the Trump Tower email, to talk RussiaGate and other tales as found in his new book, 'Pop Stars, Pageants & Presidents: How An Email Trumped My Life' (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pop-Stars-Pageants-Presidents-Trumped/dp/1732686203/).

A few technical problems this week so apologies for the quality of the audio. Hope to have them ironed by out next week. Thoughts, questions, observations, suggestions (polite ones, please, of a none explicit nature) to twtwpodcast@gmail.com.
