Boris' battle for Brexit and Zimbabwe after the death of Mugabe
Listen now
Description
Boris Johnson has one job: to make Brexit happen. But three years after the vote to depart the EU, the British parliament sits stagnant. No divorce deal. No general election. And with the prime minister describing the October 31 deadline as 'do or die', is there a chance it won't happen at all? Simon Heffer, British commentator, historian and author of Staring at God- Britain 1914-1919. Also Robert Mugabe is dead. But while the world saw the 40 year leader of Zimbabwe as a despotic monster, there were a tiny few who saw him in a more generous light. David Coltart, Zimbabwe human rights lawyer, former cabinet minister and author of The Struggle Continues: 50 years of tyranny in Zimbabwe.
