Show Notes
This week’s Difficult Woman is the human rights barrister, author, and Rachel’s former sister-in-law, the very redoubtable Marina Wheeler KC, who has written an acute new book about how the UK should reset relations with the EU after Brexit.
In a highly personal and at times confrontational conversation, the pair revisit this most painful and divisive period in British political history: the narrowly fought EU referendum and its bitter aftermath, an unprecedentedly turbulent period which saw the Johnson-Wheeler family thrust centre stage, Marina’s marriage to Boris Johnson break down, and her former husband achieve his lifetime’s ambition of becoming PM.
And that’s just the bare bones of it!
