Remainiacs - The Brexit Podcast

We were expecting a funeral march. Instead we got a victory procession – of sorts. After the big march and the even bigger vote, heroic Best For Britain march organiser Naomi Smith and truly knackered journo Ian Dunt join Andrew Harrison in an echoey Portcullis House to work out exactly what happened, and what happens next. Plus, news from the soundsystem and the joyous street activities! Who says we can only do gloomy EmergencyCasts, eh? This one will put a smile on your face. Remember, it’s an EmergencyCast recorded on lo-fi equipment so be prepared for rough and ready sonics. 

The Vote. The March. The Deal and the Amendments. The balance of power. And the decision? As we steel ourselves for the biggest day in this whole struggle, Dorian Lynskey, Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt assemble to examine what’s on the table, how we got here and how we might get out of it. “This deal is not going to be popular for very long. It’s not very popular NOW…” Re. the March: We’ll see you on the corner of Curzon St and Park Lane tomorrow from 12 noon. And remember: whatever happens, however it shakes out, nobody will ever be able to tell you you didn’t keep fighting right to the very end. Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt.

So we’re finally here. Boris Johnson thinks he’s got a deal. Arlene Foster isn’t so sure. Nobody knows what’s in the deal – but some of the ERG think it’ll pass the Commons anyway. The Remainiacs team gather to work out what we know, what we don’t know… and what we think will be put before Parliament on Saturday. Plus special guest Mike Butcher (https://twitter.com/mikebutcher) of TechForUK joins us to explain the digital tools he and his cross-platform team of wonks and ninjas have built to fight Brexit, and which ones will come into play at Saturday’s March in London.

Remainiacs on a Friday, like it's 2017 or something? As the clock ticks down to Zero Hour, will the Government’s performative anti-Brussels bolshiness come back to bite it? What are the real factors that are making the GNU the most endangered animal in politics? Project Fear comes true, but still can’t cut through. How to shut up people who shout “LISBON TREATY!” as if it’s some magic word to dispel all anti-Brexit argument. And what are we going to spend all that Get Ready For Brexit ad money on?

It’s not a deal if only one person wants it. This week, the Government breaks its promise on no customs checks in the island of Ireland with an offer the EU can’t excuse. Is Johnson throwing Ireland under the Boris Bus (again) and why does the government’s creation of narrative take precedence over actually solving the border issue?  Plus: Priti Patel decides that Britain is not a country but a Russell Group university. Civil unrest updates: why you can’t use the threat of people rioting to get what THEY want just get what YOU want. What really makes Dominic Cummings tick? And special guest Chris Southworth of the International Chamber of Commerce gives us the latest on those amazing WTO terms that the Brexiters think will save our antibiotics-laced bacon.  Spoiler: “You don’t have to change tariff environment very much at all to make the UK unviable.” Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt.
