Summary
The New European editor Matt Kelly joins Steve Anglesey to discuss the former foreign secretary’s Bannon-inspired burka-bashing.
They also unpick the no-deal Brexit scenarios which threaten to send Britain back to the 1940s.
Geri Scott attacks Twitter’s disgraceful pandering to Infowars’ Alex Jones, and asks whether it’s time to boycott the social network.
And as ever, we crown the worst Brexiteers of the week.
