We go back 25 years to the middle of November 2025, checking out the tunes that accompanied Trump's fight with the BBC, as well as Starmer's fight against an unknown enemy. And much more besides.

We go back 25 years to the first week of November 2025, checking out the tunes that accompanied Zohran Mamdani's first major election victory, Rachel Reeve's pre-budget speech and much more besides.
