Summary

So much for the Special Relationship… In an unprecedented week in which PM-to-be Boris Johnson effectively fired Britain’s ambassador to the USA to placate a bullying Donald Trump, we look into Britain’s humiliating future as a taker of orders from bigger international players. Plus independent-minded Labour MP for Ilford North WES STREETING joins us to explain what the party’s shift of Brexit policy means. Corbyn now says he wants another vote – but would Labour really fight a General Election on leaving the EU? All this and more. “Do you understand that where this ends is Washington telling us what to do?” Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ingrid Oliver and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison.
