Summary

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey discusses the biggest news story of the week - which isn't porngate nor Angela Rayner's legs - but surrounding Rishi Sunak before hearing listeners' thoughts on what sportsperson they would like to see as prime minister. Then journalist and broadcaster Jonty Bloom joins the podcast to discuss his exasperation over David Frost's opinion that Brexit has gone "remarkably smoothly", the government's latest U-turn on border tests and checks and how Brexit is economic self-harm and, sadly, there is no way out of it. Plus, Ann Widdecombe, Nadine Dorries and Grant Shapps all feature in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
