BrexitCentral Podcast

This time I spoke to the economist Gerard Lyons, the former Chief Economic Adviser to Boris Johnson. He criticised the ‘can-kicking’ of the previous administration and said businesses wanted to ‘get Brexit done’. We discussed the global financial situation and how the powers gained back from the EU could be used to re balance the UK economy.

Dan Hannan on why democracy can't work in the EU: "Democracy isn't just a periodic right to put a cross on a bit of paper. democracy also depends on a certain relationship between government and governed. "You have a sense of loyalty, of shared affinity in Sweden or Portugal or Britain, but nobody ever really says 'I'm a European' in a way that they might say 'I'm a Swede' or 'I'm a Portuguese'. "So when you have European elections you don't find that they are happening in a context of a European public opinion or recognised pan-European political leaders, what you have, of course, is 28 separate national campaigns because people's primary loyalty is at national level and so there is this Potemkin quality - there's something fake about the whole idea. "You have these political parties sitting there, you have a pretence that there was some kind of pan European democratic process, but honestly hand on heart can you imagine anybody saying, 'well you know I was gonna vote for Weber but I reckon Verhofstadt edged it in the second debate' - I mean it's just a nonsense."

Speaking in a personal capacity, Ben Brickley from the Friends of the British Overseas Territories explains how Theresa May 'sold Gibraltar down the river' with her Brexit deal and given Spain the key to controlling the Rock.

This week we spoke to John Longworth the co-founder of Leave Means Leave. He said the Withdrawal Agreement was "the worst deal in History" and predicted "riots on the streets" if Brexit isn't delivered.
