Summary

Richard Porritt and Steve Anglesey return to shine a light on another week in British politics.

The pair discuss their applications to be the government's new £100,000 spokesperson, Grant Shapps' self-isolation and the campaign to defund the BBC.

They talk to Ian Dunt about whether the battle for the Union is already lost, while Niall Griffiths gives a special musical performance of his latest column.

And, of course, another Brexiteer of the Week is crowned.

0:00.0	Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,
0:05.2	I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to
0:10.4	spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month
0:17.2	of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

0:53.5	dip your toe into a whole new world of
0:56.5	journalism.
1:01.7	Hello and welcome to the new European podcast. My name is Richard Porritt and I am joined as
1:07.2	always by Steve Anglesey. Hello Snowflakes. I hope you can hear the bin lorry, which has just arrived outside my
1:15.0	abode. Yes, we're not underwater, listeners. We are back in our bunkers for another week.
1:22.5	I think next week we're going to be back and in person, aren't we, Steve? But this week,
1:26.5	due to circumstances beyond our control, we're back and doing it on the old
1:31.6	Zoom.
1:32.5	So we're a little bit underwater, and our apologies for that, but don't worry, our very
1:35.7	expensive kit, which is currently sat doing very little, will be put to good use in the coming
1:41.9	weeks.
1:42.5	And we've got a massive show again this week,
