episode 174: “But their emails!”
“They want power, but they don’t know why.” How this government’s obsession with rebutting bad COVID news is masking a total absence of ideas. As No.10’s story on our failure to join the EU joint purchase of medical equipment falls apart, Naomi gives a true crime fan’s guide to the timeline. Fire and brimstone among the Brexiters as a few heretics float the idea of extending transition. And is exiting under No Deal in midwinter – prime COVID Wave 2 time! – really a good idea, Minister? “The government prioritised its own image over the country’s health, and that decision has been disastrous.” – Naomi Smith “These are cosplay politicians. And in a real crisis, pretend politicians cost lives.” – Alex Andreou Presented by Ros Taylor with Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Ben Stewart. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer: Jacob Archbold. Audio production by Alex Rees. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production. Get your free download of our theme tune ‘Demon Is A Monster’ by Cornershop.
