Summary

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey suggests what Boris Johnson could have said in response to Partygate fines being issued and takes listeners' thoughts on the latest episode of the saga. Former BBC R4 presenter, North America Editor and Europe Editor Mark Mardell joins the podcast to discuss why the idea of a European army haunts Brexiteers, if Ukraine can get their application to the European Union fast-tracked and, if they do, will their acceptance be symbolic more than anything else? Plus, Andrew Marr, Bill Wiggin MP and Boris Johnson all feature in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
