Summary

The strikes are biting with more workforces walking out across the economy. Will the Government blink? Meanwhile, the worst Brexit goes the louder the Brexit Party AKA Reform UK rattles its cage. Do we need to steel ourselves for another year of Brexity self-sabotage? Plus, the Qatar aftermath, Sunak orders an audit of Britain’s support for Ukraine, and a mini-crystal ball look at 2023. Gavin Esler takes Alex Andreou through the week ahead. “We just don’t spend enough on healthcare… You don’t see a winter health crisis in Germany.” “It’s just like listening to the old Marxists: ‘If only we tried Brexit properly, it’d all be fine.” “2022 has been a year of self-harm for Britain.” Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex Andreou.
