Oh God, What Now? 140: PARLIAMENT UNPROROGUED – plus guest Robert Webb
DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK! As Parliament returns in righteous anger and the Brexit Press bleat about how the Supreme Court has DESTROYED DEMOCRACY, the Remainiacs team reconvene to find out if everything really has changed. Special guest ROBERT WEBB – Peep Show star, author and fellow appalled Brexit-watcher – joins us to explore this next circle of hell.
This week: Watching history in the pouring rain. Should the Labour Party be grateful that the Supreme Court furore took the spotlight off the Brexit stitch-up at its conference? Who spiked Geoffrey Cox’s latte with crazy juice and how did Barry Shearman handle it? Do the Nazis in the Mitchell & Webb “are we the baddies?” sketch hold the key to Britain’s psyche? And why won’t Boris Johnson resign?
“The government’s plan is so clearly to smear Parliament because it couldn’t shut it down.”
Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor, Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production by Sophie Black. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.
