Do you hear that?

It might sound like nothing to you,

but it's actually the sound of nuclear, wind and solar energy.

At EDF, we're busy generating more British zero carbon

electricity than anyone to help keep future energy costs down for everyone and

help cut UK carbon emissions to nothing. Sound good to you? Find out more about our

zero carbon generation at edf energy.com slash helping Britain. Welcome to F.T. Politics, a weekly podcast on British politics from the Financial Times.

I'm Sebastian Payne, digital comment editor.

In this week's episode, we'll be discussing Theresa May's trips around Europe

to try and figure out what Brexit looks like,

To do this I'm delighted to be joined by Janine Ganesh, the F.T.'s political commentator, Tony Barber

our Europe editor, Economics writer Martin Sandbou, Keyn Stacey the Energy Corresponden, and Nick Butler who writes the

FT's Energy and Power blog. Thank you all for joining.
