When the nation headed to the polls for the EU referendum in 2016, the result was almost split down the middle. So how come the Brexit deal that's coming will not be the moderate one of a 48-52 nation, but a hard exit? Leading think tankers Anand Menon and Jill Rutter join the Prospect Interview to talk about the long four years since June 2016, and who is to really to blame for killing soft Brexit.

After episodes about the Hong Kong protests, Chinese authoritarianism, and the Israel/Palestine conflict, we turn our attention to Europe and the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union.Other than the word, spork, Brexit might be the world's current favorite portmanteau*, or combination of two words to make a new word. When the British-Exit, or Brexit, from the EU became a possibility, the messy divisiveness of how to accomplish the exit became evident. We discuss the parliamentary vote this week that gave Boris Johnson and the conservative party control in the UK. Their platform was, "GET BREXIT DONE" so that will be happening sooner rather than later. What does this mean for Ireland and Scotland? What does it mean for Europe? Can the UK stay together? England hasn't been this divided in hundreds of years. All will be discussed. To prepare for this episode, we began by learning as much vocabulary around the issue as possible. We read several articles about the past and present and looked closely at the upcoming parliamentary elections which happened to be December 12, one day before our recording/editing date. We prepared for several different outcomes depending on who won. We watched documentaries, made spidea webs, studied maps, used the question formulation technique and countless sticky notes to organize our thinking and learning. We hope that you find this episode clear, concise, and informative. We worked to stay objective, fair, but also insightful about the implications and their causes. We hope you enjoy this episode. *Other popular Portmanteaus:podcast = iPod + broadcastemail = electronic + mailsmog = smoke and fogsitcom = situational + comedyclasp = clutch + graspsplatter = splash + spattersnark = snide + remarktaxicab = taximeter (tax) + cabriolet (carriage)electrocute = electric + executebiopic = biography + pictureavionics = aviation + electronicsVelcro = velvet + crochet (small hook in french)breathalyzer = breath + analyzerfrankenfood = frankenstein + foodbromance = brother + romanceshopaholic = shop + alcoholicromcom = romance + comedybrunch = breakfast + lunchspork = spoon + forkemoticon = emotions + iconsalphanumeric = alphabetic + numbericfavicon = favorite + iconphablet = phone + tabletnetizen = Internet + citizenfreeware = free + softwaremalware = malicious + softwarewebisode = web + episodeWifi = wireless + fidelitymobisode = mobile + episodewebinar = web + seminarnetiquette = Internet + etiquettewikipedia = wiki + encyclopediaYelp = Yellow pages + helpfrenemy = friend + enemyginormous = gigantic + enormouschillax = chill + relaxbollywood = bombay + hollywoodmockumentary = mock + documentarymetrosexual = metropolitan + heterosexualcyborg = cybernetic + organismSpam = spiced + hamroyalty-free music by bensound.com

As Labour’s NEC enrages members by pushing a Confirmatory Referendum into Never-Neverland and recommitting to “Soft” Brexit, we invite Guardian writer and Corbyn supporter RACHEL SHABI into the Remainiacs bunker for a candid discussion of Labour’s Brexit contortions. Why would voters back the party in the EU parliamentary election if that vote will only be transformed into a “vote for Brexit”? Is it time for Remainers to give up on Labour and vote for unequivocally Remain parties? And is there still time to get Labour to change?PLUS hear Alex read out the winner of our Donald Tusk Romantic Fiction Prize in a truly unprecedented moment in recorded audio.

Eigentlich mögen wir die Briten (stellvertretend für das gesamte UK) ja, aber was derzeit beim Brexit passiert ist schon abenteuerlich. Man kann mit Fug und Recht sagen: “Die spinnen die Briten!” In der 39. Folge vom Meinungsschauspieler-Podcast lasse ich mir von Thomas unter anderem erklären, welche Absurditäten und Seltsamkeiten die Briten da veranstalten; was das mit Cameron zu tun hat; wie die Leave-Kampagnen gegen das Gesetz verstoßen haben, aber es niemanden interessiert; wie die Iren aufgrund der sich neu entwickelnden europäischen Grenze irren; was der Unterschied zwischen “No Deal”, “Hard Brexit und “Soft Brexit” ist und wie sich der Speaker verhält.
Nein zu Theresa Mays Abkommen, nein zum No-Deal, nein zu einem neuen Referendum, nein zum Soft-Brexit. Nun hat das britische Parlament sämtliche Alternativen zum Brexit-Deal abgelehnt. Großbritannien steht wieder am Anfang. Nur die Zeit rennt weiter. >> Artikel zum Nachlesen: https://detektor.fm/politik/alternativen-zum-brexit-deal-abgelehnt

As well as the current proposal agreed by Teresa May and the EU several other options have been proposed for a "soft Brexit", however the EU will only accept an agreement which does not undermine the integrity of its single-market. This means that in any soft Brexit option Britain would be required to remain bound by its rules, effectively part of the EU without any say in it.

On this episode of TyskySour, Michael is joined by Wes Streeting MP and the IPPR’s Tom Kibasi for a debate on whether Britain should stay in the Single Market and on Labour’s Brexit strategy.
This week we're looking at background briefings by senior EU sources to UK media, and what those mean for the state of withdrawal negotiations (spoiler: nothing good). There's also a spot of Soft Brexit follow-up, and some huge whopping lies of the week. The Guardian hears from a senior EU source on how the UK needs to face up to the reality of the decision it has made. Ivan Rogers' speech at Glasgow University which is full of insight and strongly recommended for all students of Brexit. Indiana's attempt to legislate pi Mike ('@Geoelte_Spinne')'s thread about emigrating to Germany
On this week's World View podcast, London Editor Denis Staunton reports on the appointment of Conservative MP Sajid Javid as Home Secretary following the resignation of Amber Rudd. The son of Pakistani immigrants, Mr Javid has promised action on the Windrush immigration targets scandal that led to the exit of his predecessor. Described as unsentimental, a Thatcherite and a man prone to recitations of Ayn Rand, his appointment should take some of the poison out of the crisis for the Prime Minister but weakens the Soft Brexit side of her Cabinet. It comes as the Conservatives suffered another major defeat on Brexit in the House of Lords on Monday night. Also on the podcast: In Spain, thousands have protested against a decision by a court in Pamplona to absolve five men of rape, in a case that has garnered international attention and ignited the country's MeToo movement. Guy Hedgecoe reports on the details of the story, concerning the attack of an 18-year-old woman during the San Fermines bull-running festival in the city in the summer of 2016.
