Steve - @guitarmoog - and Chris - @ottocrat - investigate cakeism: the philosophy of having your cake and eating it, as preached and practised by the British government in its approach to Brexit. Each week, we explore the latest developments as we head towards Brexit and spend time wading through the weeds from the perspective of two long-standing Brussels and UK government insiders. Our aim: to inform you, our listeners, about EU realities and so, hopefully, to equip you to spot lies and to thwart attempts to manipulate you. There may be swearing. We are regularly joined by guests and occasionally by special guest co-hosts.

Episode 28: Cross Party Parly Party
We leave the podcast dungeon and lug our recording equipment to a meeting room in the European Parliament where we chat with not one, not two, not three, but four MEPs about the Brexit endgame! This was a cracking conversation with political heavyweights so do not miss this one Remain nerds! Our guests are, in no particular order:
Julie Girling MEP (EPP/independent - Julie was a Conservative MEP until the party withdrew the whip from her for her stance on Brexit)
Alyn Smith MEP (Greens/EFA/SNP)
Seb Dance MEP (S&D/Labour)
Molly Scott Cato MEP (Greens/EFA/Green Party)
Huge thanks to Molly, Seb, Alyn, and Julie for sparing the time to come and talk to us, we hope you find this as rewarding to listen to as we did to record.
Don't forget the People's Vote March in London this Saturday, 20 October - do whatever you need to do to be there!
And keep writing to your MPs to press for a Peoples Vote and a Final Say (For All!) because we NEED to Stop Brexit!
Also: please be sure to check out the new podcast from our friends at Remainer Now!
Special Guests: Alyn Smith, Julie Girling, Molly Scott Cato, and Seb Dance.
