Malice Aforecourt – Start Your Week with Alex Andreou

They cancel Christmas earlier every year, don’t they? As petrol queues swamp Britain, will the EU lorry drivers we told to get out come back now we need them? (Spoiler: non, nein, όχι). Plus the German election results, Keir Starmer’s big moment at the Labour Conference, and phone hacking is back back back! Alex Andreou starts your week. 

• “HGV drivers are not short of work in Europe. Offering them a visa is far too little, far too late.”
• “We’re now being told that Brexit means we can solve the problems created by Brexit…”
• “As Labour voters, we've come too good at punching ourselves in the face.”
• “So it’s OK in politics to be a lying scumbag, but it’s not OK for people to say it?”
