Summary

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.
