Oh God, What Now?

This week on the Brexit podcast that DOES answer questions when it brings you a cup of tea… we’ve got Garvan Walshe, former Conservative Party National and International Security Policy Adviser and now columnist at ConservativeHome.com, joining us to explain how it feels to be a Tory Remainer, how electoral arithmetic means we’re in for political paralysis forever, and what future the party has after the dust of Brexit settles in about thirty years’ time. Plus: Best For Britain’s poll analysis shows a majority of constituencies now favour Remaining. What does that mean for a People’s Vote and for Labour’s endless prevarication on Brexit? And it’s a dream come true for young Ian Dunt as he gets to present his Five Things You Didn’t Know About The WTO. Notebooks out – he’s got argument-enders galore. This week’s REMAINIACS is produced and presented by Andrew Harrison with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Jack Claramunt. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

This week: Are Brexit jihadis using the summer break to acclimatise voters to No Deal as if it’s some sort of sensible idea instead of kamikaze economics? ALSO: Chilli con Carney on the menu as Bank of England boss Mark Carney receives a punishment beating for doing his job. Wild praise for Emily Maitlis and a terrible shoeing for Bernard Jenkin MP. Steve Bannon in a Monopoly top hat and monocle. The Telegraph tells the Tories they’re not right-wing enough. And what Brexit will mean for carers of aged or infirm relatives. Spoiler: it’s women who’ll bear the brunt. PLUS: we’re delighted to welcome back the much-missed ROS TAYLOR who brings her unique Brexit insights to the show, including how the female Leave vote was partly swayed by… whale meat and bullfighting? “You’ll be sitting in your own poo, with no sandwiches. That’s Brexit.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Andreou, Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Jack Claramunt. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

Special guest STELLA CREASY – Walthamstow MP, out-and-out Remainer and biggest* Wedding Present fan in the Commons – joins us in the week that the Government decided that its own contingency advice for No Deal was too alarming for the simple British public to see. (* OK, only). In a wide-ranging chat with Stella we ask… How can we get Labour to make a stand against Brexit before it’s too late? Now that Vote Leave’s deceitful Facebook ads have been exposed, can Britain regulate its way out of the political nightmare of Dark Ads and social media vitriol? Is there a realistic route to a People’s Vote? And what’s going on with Walthamstow’s favourite son, Brian Harvey of East 17? PLUS we welcome brand new regular NINA SCHICK – in-demand political journalist, Brexit specialist and German citizen – to the Remainiacs panel with her penetrating perspective from Berlin and beyond. Will Naomi steal the new kid’s dinner money? There’s only one way to find out… This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Andrew Harrison with Naomi Smith and Nina Shick.

This week on the podcast that David Campbell Bannerman MEP wants to see prosecuted for “extreme EU loyalty”… Does Britain have what it takes to live on a diet of nettle soup? Will people who never actually experienced WWII ever shut up about the “Blitz Spirit”? And how research shows that Leavers really are more aggressive online. PLUS our special guest JASON ARTHUR of the youth anti-Brexit campaign FFS (For our Future’s Sake) comes in to explain what’s going on with The Young People, how to get lightly disguised Leaver Jeremy Corbyn to come out against Brexit… and how the Brexit nightmare will shape an entire generation’s political ideals for decades into the future. “Can you imagine if we’d had wi-fi in the 1940s… and then the Luftwaffe knocked out the wi-fi?” HEATWAVE NOTE: We had to record this one with the windows open (it’s health and safety gone mad) so listen closely for passing aeroplanes, beeping taxis and people clattering up and down the stairs.

As Theresa May cravenly caves to the Brextremists yet again, are we finally trapped on a course for the catastrophic Hard Brexit that everyone fears? Lawyer and commentator DAVID ALLEN GREEN (also known as Jack Of Kent) joins us to explore escape routes from Brexit, the legal landscape around a People’s Vote, and much more. Plus: Donald Trump’s drive-by shouting. The ghost of David Davis’s reputation. And when “Tommy Robinson” gets out of jail, will Trump money try to create a dangerous British alt.right with him as its figurehead? It’s a grim week and no mistake.

After our emergency podcast on Monday it’s time for a more considered take on the Government’s disastrous week... and the verdict is still “WHAAAAAT?” Does Theresa May still have a Chequers policy or just a chequered future? After BOREXIT, will Johnson become a backbench thorn in May’s side, emerge as the next Prime Minister or just go back to being Britain’s least lovable music hall turn? Will anyone ever mention David Davis again? All this and more we will examine. This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Alex Andreou.

It’s been 24 hours of scarcely believable Tory chaos as the Brexit clown car finally loses its wheels. Boris Johnson and David Davis are out — but what does it mean? IAN DUNT and DORIAN LYNSKEY hotfoot it across a febrile London to gaze in disbelief at the smoking wreckage of the Red, White and Blue Brexit. Beware: sound quality is variable.

On this week’s show we welcome comedian and actor INGRID OLIVER – yes fellow nerds, it’s UNIT scientist Osgood from Doctor Who – to the Remainiacs bunker to discuss Vote Leave finally (?) being brought to book for election spending, what the German half of her family think of Brexit, and her own raging case of Brexophobia. It’s OK for Ingrid! She’s got a German passport. What about the rest of us? PLUS: Theresa May’s Third Way on customs: unicorn or dead duck? DANNY DYER speaks for England. The NHS treacherously prepares for a Hard Brexit, just because they want to look after their patients. And we revisit Alan Moore’s fable of a fascist Britain V FOR VENDETTA in the return of Remainiacs Book Club. This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Naomi Smith.

This week on the anti-Brexit podcast for people who actually KNOW how to rebel… the Greens’ Brexit and Finance spokesperson MOLLY SCOTT CATO MEP joins us to dig into the scandal of the Leavers short-selling sterling. Did hedge funds illegally use private polling to profit from weakening the pound on Referendum Day? And where does Nigel Farage fit in? PLUS: Because you demanded it, we welcome political commentator, actor and our favourite Greek guy ALEX ANDREOU as a regular Remainiacs team member. He joins Ros Taylor and Andrew Harrison to discuss the Tories’ new anti-business business policy, what “settled status” for EU citizens really means… and is the EU really going to outlaw memes? _DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK FACE! _ Then Ros has to dart out early before the end of the show. That’s why she’s not in the pic with Molly, Alex and Andrew. But don’t worry, she’ll be back soon. This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Andrew Harrison with Ros Taylor and Alex Andreou.

Tough week. Tension in the studio as we record this show on Wednesday afternoon while the crunch debate on the “meaningful vote” is taking place. Listen in for analysis on what it could mean, where we go next… and then stunned disbelief as Dominic Grieve folds at the last minute. Guess that’s a case of “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… that’s absolutely fine by me?” PLUS after May promises to pay for that NHS budget hike with the imaginary, non-existent “Brexit Dividend” we ask is there anything left of the Conservative brand now that the Tories have given up on Toryism? We call out the disgraceful co-ordinated attacks on young Remain campaigners by Seamus Milne’s social media army of hard left “human meat puppets”. And JAMES McGRORY of Open Britain joins us to preview the March for a People’s Vote on Sat 23 June. See you there with banners flying. We’ve been knocked down – but we’ll get up again. They’re never going to keep us down. “What the hell did plumbers do to this country to make Brexiters so angry at them?” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt.

Why do they keep doing this to us? YET AGAIN major events occur immediately after we finished recording Remainiacs on Wednesday. So YET AGAIN we've recorded a quick-and-dirty response to events. On this minicast, panel regular NAOMI SMITH talks about Theresa May’s unprecedented bait-and-switch over the Withdrawal Bill with producer Andrew Harrison. Will Dominic Grieve and the Tory Rebels ever trust the Prime Minister’s word again? This time we’re not recording in a pub or a park but in the echoey chambers of Best For Britain, so beware – sound quality is rough and ready and volume levels are unpredictable. We’ll be back next Friday with a properly-mixed show. In the meantime, just think of this episode as an ”unreleased demo”… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this week’s podcast, Guardian columnist and former Russia correspondent RAFAEL BEHR joins us to explain the mind-crushing complexity of Withdrawal Bill day. What happened, who won (if anyone) and where do we go from here? Did Theresa May play Dominic Grieve like a sucker? And if she did, can the Rebels come back at her in any meaningful way? (We recorded on Wednesday 13 before May “allegedly” went back on her word to Grieve regarding the Meaningful Vote. Update minicast coming soon). Plus: Inside the sleazy world of Arron Banks, Isabel Oakeshott and Andy Wigmore, a story featuring ACTUAL Moscow Gold! The looming clash between Imaginary Brexit and Real Brexit. And why the Tommy Robinson Gammon Riots in Whitehall are really, truly worrying. “Tory rebels need to stop acting like time is on their side. It’s not. It’s on the Brexiters’ side.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Jack Claramunt. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

No sooner had we pressed "stop" on recording Wednesday's show than all sorts of bizarre events unfolded. Brexit cheerleader Paul Dacre announced his retirement from editing the Daily Mail, David Davis went through another pantomime resignation threat… and Boris Johnson's attempts to get sacked reached new heights of absurdity. "Pro bono publico, no meltdown" – really? So Ian and producer Andrew headed to London's lovely Hyde Park (pubs are too noisy) to quickly get it all down so you don't have to wait a week. Forgive our dodgy sound quality – we thought you'd want it as quick as we could get it to you. Enjoy. "Confidence is a preference for what is known as… PARK CAST."

This week on the Brexit podcast that’s so powerful the government schedules its bad news for Thursdays to make sure we miss it… Special guest JONN ELLEDGE of the New Statesman and Citymetric joins us to talk about how urbanisation relates to Brexit. Is the old “Remain metropolises vs Leave countryside” conundrum really nonsense? Is there a plan for infrastructure after Brexit? And more importantly, why does Jonn love propellerheaded Brexit wonk Dan Hannan so much? PLUS: What’s really behind Jeremy Corbyn’s massive turnaround regarding the single market? SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY: Can the government get a proper day of debate on the Withdrawal Bill done in one day? (Spoiler: course it can’t). And why we might be living through a 1970s TV series called THE ARMAGEDDON SCENARIO. And marvel as we try to predict what major events we’ll miss this week because they happened after we finished recording – and totally miss the resignation of Paul Dacre AND Theresa May utterly duffing up David Davis over the customs backstop. Thanks Paul! Thanks Theresa and David! “Trying to understand Labour’s Brexit policy is like learning Klingon. All that intellectual effort and then at the end of it, nobody can understand you.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Naomi Smith, and Ian Dunt.

On this week’s Remainiacs, Times columnist and social media fighter-of-good-fights HUGO RIFKIND joins Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt for this week’s battle with the horrible Hydra that is Brexit. This week: Why Leavers shouldn’t dare conscript the Irish abortion referendum into their arguments. Why Remain couldn’t win another referendum the same way Leave won the last one. Do Labour MPs really have anything to fear from their Leave voters? How would YOU mark what they’re insisting on calling “Brexit Day”? And Italy – clowns to the left of me, fascists to the right… “Populism isn’t good at answers. It’s good at anger. But there comes a point where you can say to them, OK, you’re in charge now.

It’s REMAINIACS ASSEMBLE as all our regular panelists convene to “celebrate” a whole year in the Brexit time warp. Ian, Ros, Dorian, Naomi and Peter listen back to our very first episode – back when “strong and stable” was still a thing – to ask, what has changed? What did we get right and wrong? Will Britain ever escape from the time loop that is Brexit? Will Britain ever escape from the time loop that is Brexit? And will Britain ever escape from the time loop that is Brexit…? PLUS: Are the Tory Remainers finally about to grow a spine? If Benedict Cumberbatch is going to play Dominic Cummings, who should the BBC cast as Johnson, Fox and lumpen swamp creature Arron Banks? What are the most Brexity and Remainy movies of all time? And stay tuned to the end of the show for *a twist that nobody was expecting… * “Still, with just a few months to go, none of the parties have got their acts together. It’s extraordinary.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Peter Collins, Naomi Smith, Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Sophie Black. Producer: Andrew Harrison.

The Norway option, gammon wars and the plight of expats with DR MICHAELA BENSON of Goldsmiths University of London. In the week when confusion continues to reign about the EEA option, Labour’s Brexit policy and what to do about customs, we talk to sociologist Dr Michaela Benson about how the endless uncertainty is affecting British citizens who live in the EU27. Who are the BrExpats, apart from pensioners in Spain and DJs in Berlin? How nervous are they about the future? What, if anything, are governments doing to put their minds at rest? And why on earth are some of them still proud enthusiasts for Brexit? Plus! Will centrist pin-up David Miliband’s transatlantic intervention move the dial? Has the penny finally dropped for Daniel Hannan? Do any remainers still think that Jeremy Corbyn is on their side? Is the Electoral Commission’s punishment of Leave.EU more than a slap on the wrist? Is calling red-faced Brexiters “gammon” racist? (No) And are we surprised by the UN rapporteur on racism’s findings that Britain has become a more hostile environment since the referendum? (Also no) "Some UK citizens living overseas will probably lose their right to vote in both local and European elections - the idea of not being able to vote for anything anywhere is quite upsetting."

After those pesky, meddlin’ peers in the House of Lords took a wrecking ball to Theresa May’s Brexit policy, we sort through the rubble with our special guest, Greens co-leader and Brighton Pavilion MP CAROLINE LUCAS. Are the Greens picking up votes because unlike everyone but the Lib Dems, they’re proudly and unabashedly anti-Brexit? How do they square some of their Lexity supporters with their internationalist instincts? And why is the freebooting neoliberal Single Market ironically quite good for green politics after all? Plus: Are we really going to join the EEA? Does the Lords rebellion mean that Jeremy Corbyn has run out of procrastinating time too? Why is Gavin Williamson a “ham-faced cretin”? What does the resignation of friend of the show Heidi Alexander from Parliament mean for Remain? And all the white-hot tariff talk you can handle… “Brexit is like being sold a lovely mansion in the countryside and then finding you’ve bought a hovel with no plumbing.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt.

It’s inefficient Euro-socialist overmanning time as we present a special, super-extended episode of Remainiacs with not one but TWO special guests. First the fantastic FEMI OLUWOLE of youth campaign Our Future Our Choice tells us why he gave up a promising career to fight Brexit, how young people are the ones who can turn this mess around… and why everyone turns into a worse version of themselves on social media. Then the legend that is BILLY BRAGG comes in to explain some hard truths about the working class concerns that led to Brexit, why we should be making the case to remain and reform… and play us some tunes from his current album ’Bridges Not Walls’ too. Hold tight for one-off renditions of ‘England, Half English’ and (yes) ’Full English Brexit’. Plus: The latest round-up of Theresa May’s miserable performance on the Customs Union and Windrush. Is Thanos from ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ really a Brexiter? And should we be listening to the legitimate concerts of voters in Ward/Area? “We’ve got to remember that Leavers voted to make the country better too. And when you ask them how it’s going, they think it’s going really badly…” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Naomi Smith. Audio production: Jack Claramunt.

Few MPs have grown in status since the Brexit mess unfolded – but DAVID LAMMY, the member for Tottenham, is one of them. We’re delighted to have him down in the Remainiacs Bunker to discuss the unsavoury roots of Brexit, what the Windrush scandal means… and whether Labour will ever get off the fence regarding our membership of the EU? “We have to be crazy if we think the country is happy with being poorer.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Peter Collins.

Remainiacs welcomes SNP Westminster deputy leader and economics spokesperson KIRSTY BLACKMAN MP for a long-overdue Scottish perspective on Brexit. What does our departure from the EU mean for Scottish independence? Which would she prefer: no Brexit and Scotland stays in the EU, or independence but Scotland outside the EU? Will the SNP leave the “rUK” in the Brexity lurch? Listen in as our cast cite great-aunties from Arbroath in a bid to nail a Scottish passport after we leave the EU. Plus! The national shame of the Windrush scandal, and why Theresa May’s “hostile environment” for immigrants is the poison inside Brexit. Can the House of Lords frustrate Brexit, and if they can, should they? More contents for our Brexit Time Capsule. And a special appearance by long-time listener, first-time caller Nigel Farage… “You can’t appease the ignorant minority of xenophobes in this country.

When Nick Clegg appeared on Remainiacs last year, the ex-Deputy PM enjoyed it so much that he asked our backroom team to help him create his own podcast… so here's a special taster for Remainiacs listeners. ANGER MANAGEMENT WITH NICK CLEGG is a new fortnightly series all about anger, and you can see more here. What is anger doing to our society? Are we stuck in an Age of Rage? And what can we do to get reason back on top? Nick promised that he wouldn't stay inside his comfort zone, and he's been as good as his word on this first episode with guest NIGEL FARAGE. In this clip, hear Nick lock horns with Farage over why imposing Brexit on a young generation that didn't vote for it is undemocratic. The ex-Ukip leader's response is quite something.

This week the co-creators of BBC2’s investigative dimwit Philomena Cunk – top comedy writers JASON HAZELEY and JOEL MORRIS – descend into the Remainiacs bunker to get all that Brexit misery off their chests. What should go inside the Museum of Brexit? How will Britain manage to negotiate a wide-ranging trade deal with the 1950s? What’s at the core of Cunkism? And what was in the original final scenes of ‘Cunk On Britain’ – the ones they daren’t film? Plus this week’s new Centrist party, what Hungarian fascists can teach us about our own far right, and why the ‘Commonwealth Family’ has rather different perspectives on Britain than the Brexiters think. “The Tory Party managed to save it self simply by destroying the whole country.

This week on the premier reason-based podcast for Brexit-watchers… The BBC’s coverage of Brexit is causing increasing alarm. Is the Corporation failing in its duty to explain? Is it just frightened of government and demagogues? How do we fix it? Is John Humphrys really past his sell-by date? And if Remainers join the Bash The BBC mob, will we all live to regret it? Plus: Theresa May’s world tour of Britain’s cow-sheds. With even volunteers for Vote Leave saying there must be a Final Say referendum, will it happen?

Europe: it’s the Final Countdown. On this week’s show we look at what to expect – and what can go wrong – in the twelve-month road to our inglorious exit from the EU. Plus! After Christopher Wylie’s testimony to the Culture Committee, is the Referendum result irrevocably tainted? Does Keir Starmer care more about keeping Labour together than keeping Britain in the Single Market? Why is Ros obsessed with whale meat?

The most fearsome spin doctor in politics is now a doughty fighter for Remain. ALASTAIR CAMPBELL enters the Remainiacs basement bunker to tell us what Remainers should really be doing… why Prime Minister David Cameron (remember him? posh chap?) kept avoiding the weirdly asocial Theresa May… and why we’re in a nightmare era of very serious issues decided by very un-serious people. But do the roots of the post-truth era lie in the same victory-at-all-costs news management that Alastair Campbell pioneered? Plus! If May’s transition deal is annoying the Brexit ultras, it can’t be all bad, right? Will the Cambridge Analytica scandal shift the Brexit needle? And a brand new comic that’s all about Brexit. “We made a choice whether to pay for stuff with money or with our data. We opted to pay for it with our data – and BOY are we paying now.” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Sophie Black.

Very excited to welcome legendary food journalist and Observer restaurant critic JAY RAYNER for the eye-opening, jaw-dropping hard truths of Britain’s Brexitised food policy. Are we really only days away from empty shelves in the event of Hard Brexit? Why is our food culture still shaped by the effects of WWII? Which parts of EU food policy ARE a disaster (that we won’t be able to influence once we leave)? And did you know that it’s now OK to eat cod, and climate change has produced a huge increase in availability of fish in the Baring Sea…? Plus: Corbyn’s “cheap imported labour” muddle – Peter explains what the European Posted Workers Directive really entails. Did you know that British spy Christopher Steele who wrote the Trump dossier also conducted the inquiry into the Litvenenko murder? What does THAT mean? And we go nuts for BBC Northern Ireland’s spoof Brexumentary ‘Soft Border Force’ (have YOU had the Ebola?). “There might be so little to eat that you’ll be GLAD of chlorine chicken…” This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Peter Collins.

Jeremy Corbyn has FINALLY come out in favour of “a” Customs Union. But are Labour’s ideas just Tory cake-and-eat-it promises with red icing on top? And why is he still repeating the Big Bus Lie that we can fund everything with imaginary money returned from Brussels? Special guest HELEN LEWIS, deputy editor of the New Statesman, joins us to dissect Jezza’s new-look Brexit policy. (Annoyingly, we recorded this one after May had dismissed the EU exit treaty draft out of hand. Grrr. Again.) Plus: The Irish Border problem that won’t go away and the brazen idiocy of Boris Johnson’s “Oyster Card” solution. Should Britain get a grip and stop worshipping Winston Churchill? Would you eat TRUMP BEEF? And discover how a single punch in a Commons bar led inexorably to the Brexit catastrophe. “For people like Liam Fox, Brexit is the abiding mission of their political lives.
