Show Notes

The biggest rail strikes in 30 years are going ahead after last-minute talks went nowhere. Chris and Laura are back with Adam to think through what it means for passengers and the government.

They’re also here to mark the podcast’s birthday with a look at what’s next in the UK’s relations with Europe, plus a trip down Brexitcast memory lane.

And a newer friend of the podcast, the BBC’s disinformation reporter Marianna Spring also joins us to talk about her Panorama documentary looking at the role social media played in the murder of a 13-year-old boy called Olly.

Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Cordelia Hemming and Alix Pickes. The technical producers were Dave O’Neill and Cassie Galpin. The assistant editor was Alison Gee. The editor is Jonathan Aspinwall.
