Summary

Priti Patel’s nonpologies. Former Green MEP and Brighton & Hove Mayor Alex Phillips joins us to look at how the Corona crisis could at least provide an opportunity for a green reboot of economics. Alex and Dorian read the entire leaked Labour antisemitism report so you don’t have to (they wish THEY didn’t have to). Will the EU Corona bailout actually work for European countries – and is Britain really going to stampede towards No Deal, now of all times? “The same people who told us Brexit was more important than the economy are now telling us there’s NOTHING more important than the economy.” – Alex Andreou Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Alex Andreou.
