Summary

It’s five years this week since we left the EU. Isn’t everything going brilliantly? Special guest Anand Menon of UK In A Changing Europe joins us to assess the many, many achievements of Global Britain. Has Brexit changed Britain irrevocably? What destroyed the Tory party: leaving the EU, Liz Truss or Boris Johnson’s own hubris? What’s the real reason why Labour won’t touch this issue? And what happens if a radicalising Europe stops looking like such a secure place to rejoin after all? Plus, in the Extra Bit for Patreons: should we stay strong and not let AI “improve” our writing? NOT FOR PATREON • Support us on Patreon for ad-free listening and much, much more. Written and presented by Ros Taylor with Hannah Fearn and Marie le Conte. Audio production by Robin Leeburn.
