Podcast: Brexit’s Back Baby!

The New Statesman podcast with Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian and Ailbhe Rea.

By NS Podcasts

An EU flag and a Union flag held by a demonstrator is seen with Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) and the Houses of Parliament as marchers taking part in an anti-Brexit, pro-European Union (EU) march enter Parliament Square in central London on March 25, 2017, ahead of the British government's planned triggering of Article 50 next week. Britain will launch the process of leaving the European Union on March 29, setting a historic and uncharted course to become the first country to withdraw from the bloc by March 2019. / AFP PHOTO / Daniel LEAL-OLIVAS (Photo credit should read DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/AFP via Getty Images)

On today’s New Statesman Podcast, Anoosh Chakelian and Ailbhe Rea are joined by Anand Menon, director of think tank UK in a Changing Europe, to discuss the latest Brexit news, as the government’s “oven-ready” deal starts to look more half-baked. Then, in You Ask Us, Stephen Bush joins to take your questions on why new Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has ruled out campaigning to rejoin the EU.
