Summary

As Christmelection 2019 finally, finally, finally gets under way, could Boris Johnson’s good-time blustering turn out to be a campaigning bug, not a feature? Why we should all have looked harder at the opinion poll which claimed that voters were OK with political violence as long as they got their way on Brexit. And The Guardian’s magnificent political sketch-writer JOHN CRACE joins us to talk about his new book Decline And Fail – and Brexit’s endless race between satire and reality. “One thing we’ve learned about Brexit is, it makes fools of fools.” Presented by Dorian Lynskey, Ingrid Oliver and Ian Dunt. Audio production by Elsie Bath at Soho Radio. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.
