Rogue Nation: Britain scuttles its credibility
Listen now
Description
As Johnson scrapes his Oven-Ready Deal into the bin, we ask why would any other country ever trust Britain’s word ever again? We explore the new Internal Market Bill’s staggering contempt for international law. And the authors of Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn – Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire – join us to explain what really went on during Jeremy’s Wild Years.  - “The government is a 24-hour rolling embarrassment and I’m not sure what’s supposed to be distracting from what.” – Dorian Lynskey - “You have to wonder why the UK has chosen this hill to die on. Does it want No Deal not just to be thinkable or possible, but inevitable?” – Ros Taylor - “The Brexit tribe is fraying round the edges and Cummings is looking for something for them to rally around.” – Alex Andreou - “By the end the Labour Party was at war with itself, and everyone was desperate to say why nothing was their fault.” – Gabriel Pogrund Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Alex Andreou.
