Summary

This week on Britain’s last-ever European Podcast of Culture… What did David Davis hope to achieve by redacting the Government’s 58 secret Impact Papers? Why did DExEU spin doctors harass journalists for even saying the papers even existed – when now we know they did all along? Plus: The Government caves on the EU divorce bill, as everyone knew they would. What sort of final Brexit settlement would the Remainiacs team like to see? Daniel Hannan’s sci-fi Brexit. Biblical Leavers vs High-Stakes Remainers. And where to plant a Magic Money Tree. “Whatever the Brexiters want, we’re going to be paying pensions until literally everybody dies.” Want to help us #OwnTheRemoan?
