Summary

This week: fish, food, agriculture, immigration, Scotland and our special guest, Labour’s deputy leadership candidate and only Scottish MP, IAN MURRAY. On the menu: Labour’s existential crossroads, why the party lost Scotland, the Brexit vs Corbyn blame game, and what Labour needs to do to win back Britain’s confidence. Plus: Why crossing the imaginary Brexit finish line won’t change Britain’s inevitable reckoning with the immigration issue. What use is the Government’s greenwashed Agriculture Bill when it won’t protect us from low-standard food imports? Do “Britain’s fish” really matter? And why you CAN fly your European flag after Jan 31. “The only consolation here is that the chlorinated chickens will come home to roost on the doorstep of Number Ten.” Presented by Ros Taylor with Alex Andreou, Ingrid Oliver and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Audio production and script by Alex Rees. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production. Remainiacs isn’t going away just because Brexit is happening.
