Summary

Yes, we got a kicking. Remain parties might have edged the popular vote but it didn’t stop Boris Johnson winning the majority he always craved. So what now? Is Remain dead? Where do we put our energies from now on? Are lies and contempt for basic scrutiny the new normal for political campaigns? Will Labour face its culpability for the hard right’s greatest success since Thatcherism? And exactly how much sleep did our panel get? Incredible though it seems, we’ve done the easy stuff. Now it’s a hard road ahead. “We are the opposition now.” Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison with Ian Dunt, Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou. Audio production by Alex Rees.
