Brexit and the People

Feb 12, 2018

Brexit dominates the news agenda. But with all the talk of the single market, impact assessments and trade deals, it sometimes feels as if this debate is only happening in the comment pages of newspapers, or the corridors of Westminster. What happened to the people? The Weekly Economics Podcast is back with a special episode: a discussion we recorded live in London at the end of 2017, between political theorist Maurice Glasman, activist Ruth Ibegbuna, and the academic Rob Ford. The question journalist Mary Riddell put to them was: where are the people in the Brexit debate? Plus: Ayeisha Thomas-Smith gives an update on CabFair, our plan to create an ethical alternative to Uber. Enjoying the show? Tweet us your comments and questions @NEF! Produced by James Shield and Huw Jordan. Music this week is by Simon Mathewson and Podington Bear. The award-winning Weekly Economics Podcast is brought to you by the New Economics Foundation – the UK's only people powered think tank. Find out more at www.neweconomics.org
