Summary

You thought Brexit couldn’t get any worse? Guess again. As we hurtle towards the brick wall of No Deal, the Tories think there’s no better moment for a time-wasting leadership contest. Luckily we’ve persuaded two of our most popular guests of the year — LBC legend JAMES O’BRIEN and comedy giant DAVID SCHNEIDER — to discuss the events of the most disgraceful week in British politics since…. well, next week. On this episode: the ERG decide that the country has to be destroyed in order to save it. Theresa May’s stockpile of horcruxes. Why The Death of Stalin is mellow and comprehensible compared to this. How the Prime Minister will become “A lame duck encased in steel.” And WTF is “managed No Deal” anyway? Plus David and James choose their high points and low points of 2018 — and conjure up some bright points of hope for 2019. It’s an epic guestclash. REMAINIACS: Tough on Brexit, tough on the causes of Brexit. This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Elsie Bath. Producer: Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

Hello and welcome back to Remaniacs. We've just come back from Brussels where we were already

0:17.0

for the meaningful podcast to go ahead. We've got the necessary 48 letters from listeners.

0:21.4

We have no confidence in Remaniacs. So we'll be turning ourselves over to the mercy

0:25.1

of our governing body, the £19.22 commission. I'm Dorian Lensky, although it feels like

0:30.1

a thousand years ago now, I'm still on a come down from our Remaniacs live show on Monday

0:33.6

with our regular Ingrid Oliver, Ross Taylor, and Ian Dundt, who is here with us today. Hi,

0:37.2

Ian. Hello. Did you enjoy the show? Yes, it was very good, wasn't it?

0:41.0

We had a lot. We had a lot to talk about. We did. We talked about this earlier, but I really

0:47.0

liked it at least seven different moments. People's answers to the question was, I don't know.

0:51.3

I do the thing. Whenever people are saying, I don't know, I think I'm with my people now.

0:55.0

And with the actual ones that are willing to be honest about things. That was fun.

0:58.2

And in the audience was Naomi Smith, Chief Operating Officer of Best for Britain and the

1:01.5

Budacover of Remain, who's been waving her face about this week, co-organising a rally

1:05.8

on Sunday at the Excel Centre in London. Hi, Naomi. Hello. Budacover wasn't very well

1:10.5

organised and I'm incredibly well organised. And did you lose? And she lost, but I'm well

1:14.8

organised, I'm going to win. Good point. I'm going to talk to the

1:17.8

history department about that. There's someone in the corner with a stack of encyclopedias.

1:23.6

So your child starts Jason Isaacs, Eddie Marcelle, Caroline Lucas and the headline act, Michael

1:27.7

Hezza Hezletine. How did you, he hasn't come on the show? How did you get him?

1:32.4

Well, try keeping them away, frankly. The wind is so in our sales as a campaign now that

1:38.0

it really wasn't hard for us to get people at all. And he wanted to have slightly

1:43.7

longer than everybody else. And we gave it to him and put him on last and water speech
