Summary

Law, huh, what is it good for? According to the Tory Brexiteers, not a lot, as they move to scrap thousands of EU regulations. The panel discusses what an act of legislative vandalism this truly is. Plus, COVID conspiracies become the new… COVID conspiracies. Anti-vaxx rhetoric is back and being weaponised by the right. What are Andrew Bridgen et al up to? And, in the extra bit (in full for Patreons) we keep tabs on the politics of cigarettes. Get tickets for OGWN Live in London on Weds 15 Feb here. Don’t miss our new documentary series Jam Tomorrow. “They have no idea what law it is they’re getting rid of… and they admit it.” – Ian Dunt “You are repealing law – once you hit that date, the law just goes off the statute book… it’s really hard to undo.” – Ian Dunt “Sunak is weak and he’s not getting things through, and he’s too weak to face down the ERG, so hitting abort on this bill is unthinkable.” – Naomi Smith “For all his many faults Sunak isn’t dim, and he knows that this arbitrary deadline is going to cause mayhem and serious economic damage.” – Naomi Smith www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Written and presented by Andrew Harrison with Ian Dunt, Naomi Smith and Seth Thévoz.
