episode 189: “Is your culture war still working, Mr Cummings?”
How hard will a No Deal/COVID double whammy hit the British economy? New research from Best For Britain shows it will devastate the places you don’t expect as well as Brexitland. Could Black Lives Matter and America’s revolt against institutional racism cross over to the UK? And special guest Daniel Trilling of The Guardian explains how the new immigration regulations aren’t designed to “take back control” but to rip off workers. “We’ve proven you can’t bury No Deal under Corona… Some 7 million jobs are doubly impacted by both.” – Naomi Smith “In typical style, Mogg took an innovation that was working pretty well and decided they’d replace it with something old… just because they could.” – Ian Dunt “This government tries to sweep away criticism with cheery British optimism and it’s toxic.” – Daniel Trilling “What is it that Boris Johnson wants? Without Cummings, there’s nothing there.” – Ian Dunt Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer: Jacob Archbold.
