Summary

Supply teachers Eleanor Longman-Rood and Matt Withers are on presenting duties to sift through another quiet week in British politics. They discuss Boris Johnson's 'heshuffle' and hear listeners' suggestions as to what role Jacob Rees-Mogg should hold. After Keir Starmer is harassed by protesters repeating the PM's Jimmy Savile slur they examine whether we should expect more of these kind of attacks. And The New European's own Tim Walker pops by to talk about his new play, Bloody Difficult Women, and the intriguing prospect of a Theresa May comeback. Plus Mark Spencer, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Guto Harri and Natalie Elphicke are inducted into the Hall of Shame. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
