Jamie Mackay has some big questions for Bill English today. First up he wants to pick the Prime Minister's brain over Donald Trump's first days as President of the United States.

Like him or loathe him Trump has wasted no time doing what he said he'd do, already axing America's involvement in the TPPA. Jamie asks what effect this will have on New Zealand's trade plans.

Mackay also asks if Donald Trump represent a new political order and perhaps career politicians such as English are a thing of the past.

Other topics include billionaire Peter Thiel's acceptance into New Zealand, shifting the school holidays to February and English's Waitangi Day no-show.
