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 3: the 40 watt amplifier
Steve Peers' blog post with a post mortem on Boris Johnson's and Theresa May's speeches
Garreth Hayes' brilliant thread on complexity
"The best Brexit tweet ever"
#GreatLeapBackwards
This episode was recorded in the evening, Belgian beer is involved, and your podcast hosts become somewhat tired and emotional. Expect a bit more swearing than usual and some high pitched indignant screeching.
We are looking for sponsors - but we don’t want your money! If you represent an organisation that is working to stop Brexit, and you’d like some free publicity, contact us via this website or DM one of us on Twitter.
