Summary

In this week’s episode, our host Steve Anglesey returns! He questions Jacob Rees-Mogg's logic of calling Brexit a success by reading out a letter from a listener who recounts the struggles he has had importing from a British business to where he lives in Poland. Comedian Matt Forde then joins the podcast to discuss how, despite him being easy to make fun of, he won't miss Boris Johnson when he goes, how both the Left and Right-wing lost their minds simultaneously and THAT Jimmy Carr joke. Plus, Nigel Farage, Ann Widdecombe and Boris Johnson's excusers all feature in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
