The Standard podcast: Is the Dubai dream over for Londoners?

Dubai, alongside its Middle Eastern neighbours, is being targeted by Iranian strikes that have so far caused damage to airports, hotels and ports. At least 94,000 stranded Brits have registered their location with the Foreign Office to prepare for evacuation, and airlines have, albeit slowly, begun to repatriate travellers.

In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to freelance writer, Tom Place, who has been reporting on the repatriation story for The Standard.

She also speaks to London expat Harley Mcgaughran, the CEO and Founder of luxury personal shopping service, Trendsourcing, who does not regret his decision to ditch London for Dubai as of yet.
