Summary

The secret is out. Remainiacs has a new name – but the same team and the same commitment to dispelling the misery of politics with humour and sharp analysis. On OH GOD, WHAT NOW? this week: There’s no such thing as a free lunch (if you’re a poor kid). The Taming of the Feral Tory Intake. Why the Far Right is actually on the fade across Europe. And as a new podcast era dawns, our panel look to how the future really, really could be better. “We are now the insurgents. Let’s embrace it” – Alex Andreou “The spirit of Remainiacs isn’t going anywhere” – Naomi Smith “There’s nothing paternalistic about Boris Johnson. And that’s not just because we don’t know how many children he’s got.” – Ros Taylor “COVID has created a paradoxical situation where Liberals are in favour of control and closing borders” – Naomi Smith “The Conservatives keep going back to this muscle memory for what they did in the 1980s.” – Ian Dunt “We now have this weird mix of and anti-masking. Let us breathe only the germs of our own people!” – Naomi Smith Last chance to can get 10% off Ian Dunt’s new book How To Be A Liberal using this link. Just add 'HTBAL10' on checkout.

0:12.0	over 200 episodes, several live shows and some unfortunate developments on the Brexit
0:16.2	front. It's time for us to change. We're not renaming ourselves with
0:22.4	Remaniacs because that's not a word. But after lots of head scratching and whiteboard
0:26.8	scrolling, we've hit upon a new name which we think captures the spirit of the

0:39.3	of outrageous politics. So we've got a new name, a new look, a spruced-up theme
0:43.6	tune courtesy of our old friends Cornishop, where the style and the values of

0:54.9	trying times. We especially want to thank our Patreon backers for getting us this
0:58.5	far. We'll be keeping all of our legacy Remaniacs
