Why is Britain in a self-harm recession?

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey begins by talking about Nigel Farage's GB news show (but don't let that put you off), before hearing listeners' thoughts on which politicians would headline at the worst music festival ever and what their band would be called. Then journalist and broadcaster Jonty Bloom joins the podcast to discuss why economic predictions are far worse for Britain than other countries, why the economy hasn't had the boom everyone, including Rishi Sunsak, was hoping for and how Britain's recession was of its own doing. Plus, Ann Widdecombe, David Frost and Iain Duncan Smith all feature in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
