Summary

After a week like that we just had to reconvene and perform triage on the Deal, the People’s Vote, the state of May’s governmental authority and all the other walking wounded of the Brexit Infinity War. Dorian Lynskey, Ian Dunt and producer Andrew Harrison convene in a very nice North London restaurant – yeah we’re in a metropolitan bubble, what of it? – to find out where the latest Hell Week leaves us. As ever, our emergency podcasts are a little bit more rough and ready than usual, without the caring hands of our professional producers, so please excuse the odd pop, bang and clattering teacup. Normal service resumes next week. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello, well the dust has settled. We're here to discuss the aftermath of hell week

0:06.6

in Parliament and to get out of our Mitch Paulson bubble we've come to a restaurant in

0:10.9

Hampstead. It was very nice, it's leafy. I don't remain or leave, I don't know, but it's

of Soho. Absolutely. So I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a producer. That's a year, you can

0:29.5

call the right on the podcast and you don't worry about March, what about the end of June.

0:34.8

Yeah, well unless we do have to worry about March, so we're not quite there yet. I mean

0:39.3

that obviously seems to be where we're going to. People yesterday were like, right that's

0:46.3

it, it's confirmed. We're not going to be leaving on March 29th. It means that no, it's

0:50.3

not fucking confirmed because Britain is not in charge of its destiny anymore. It is

0:54.3

now in the hands of 27 other countries. And it really is. I'm so happy for you. I

0:59.0

so happy to be rocking out really well. Shout hands. So like it's not with the previous

1:03.2

things where you would often have a decision to be reached, or mandates, whatever you

1:06.7

would have officials start to make these calls or like Barney A would start sort of insinuating

1:10.7

people on one way or another. This really is a political decision that has taken by the

1:14.4

heads of 27 member states and any one of them can veto it. So there's a perfectly

1:19.2

good chance that they will say no, or there's another chance that they'll attach conditions

1:23.2

that are considered unacceptable to the Westminster Parliament, but they'll say no, we're not

1:27.2

fucking doing extension if it's going to last for a year and requires us to do X, Y and

1:30.1

Z. And then we'll fall out. So although it doesn't look like we're leaving on March 29th,
