Donald Trump: What’s the worst that could happen? Analysis by Carl Bernstein

In this week’s Big Issue…

As he takes the big chair, we look at whether any of Donald Trump’s policies will be positive. We also have legendary Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein – a man whose investigation brought down a crooked president – analysing the leader of the free world. He’s not altogether positive..

We speak to the man at the centre of the new movie Lion. Adopted from India as a five year old, he was taken to Australia with no memory of his home. And then he started to have flashbacks, and used googleimages to trace a way home. Incredible story.

We also interview Tom Daley, and Scott Mills gives us his Letter To My Younger Self.

Our featured vendor is George Whyte who sells on George Street (conveniently) in Edinburgh. He started selling when fire in his rented flat forced him out.

John Bird looks at the battle lines ahead in Brexit. Robin Ince returns to review the best radio around; there is a brilliant piece about birdwatching in winter; a look at the upcoming Scorsese season at the BFI and much more.
