Brexit PodcastToby Baxendale on how free trade will thrive post Brexit“June 24th was one of the greatest days of my life,” Toby Baxendale says, referring to the vote for Britain to leave the European Union in 2016. Perhaps not an unusual statement given 52 per cent of Brits agreed with his decision. But given Tony invests in eight businesses and founded and then sold the UK’s largest fresh fish processor and distributor, Direct Seafoods, it bucks much of the anti-Brexit free-trade thinking. Toby joined Tim and Jen to explain why he believes Britain’s future and trade agreements – free from the bureaucracy of Brussels - will be brighter post-Brexit. Toby is also a...

Brexit PodcastWeekly Brexit news round-up with Warren and TimIn, out, or still shaking it all about? With the general election in the offing and manifestos flying in all directions, you could be forgiven for not knowing each party’s exact stance on Brexit. So Tim kicks off the weekly round-up with a rapid-fire run through of who is calling for what and why. Welcoming back co-host Warren, they then discuss how German chancellor Angela Merkel is likely to put Brexit negotiations into a holding pattern, how the UK’s fishing industry is (or rather isn’t!) in deep water, and look at an emotional plea from food critic...

Brexit PodcastSimon Read on the importance of Britain's financial services sector post BrexitWhile bankers may not top the poll as Britain’s most popular members of society, would we be bankrupt without them? With London’s status as the No 1 financial centre in the world uncertain there are warnings that the knock-on effect could cripple the UK economy. But is this just inflated opinion? One man who has more of a handle on these matters than most is campaigning financial journalist Simon Read. Simon is currently on a round Britain tour filming monet stories for the BBC, but joined Tim after a two-day stint in Halifax to outline just how important fina...

Brexit PodcastWeekly Brexit news round-up with Oli DugmoreNil points for guessing last week’s biggest #Brexit news story… X Factor’s Lucie Jones claiming a mighty 15th position in Eurovision with her track ‘Never Give Up On You’. But while it might bring some cosy cohesion to Saturday night TV, pop isn’t always short for populist, and back in the real world the fallout from Britain’s decision to leave the EU remains fractious. Oli Dugmore, an editor of student website The Tab, joins Tim for this week’s news round-up where they look at Emmanuel Macron’s first steps as the new French president, and whether the ce...

Brexit PodcastKatinka Barysch on why a trade deal over Brexit is not Germany's priorityIt might be No 1 on the the UK's #Brexit wishlist, but while Britain furiously debates whether a bad trade deal is worse than no deal with Europe, the continent's leading economic powerhouse is not really bothered.That's the view of Munich-based Katinka Barysch, a political researcher at financial service company Allianz. It might seem strange that with Germany exporting €86 billion worth of goods to the UK, chancellor Angela Merkel would not be under more pressure from the manufacturing sector to stay on good terms with Britain. But as Tim discovered, Merkel's political priorities, including immigration, the rise of the ri...

Brexit PodcastWeekly Brexit news round-up with Jen and Tim‘Macron steamrollers Le Pen’ and ‘Tories crush Labour’. The local and French elections appear to have left no doubt as to who will provide - as Theresa May is so keen to remind everyone - “strong and stable” leadership. But is this really the case? Tim and Jen attempt to look behind the headlines in this week’s news round-up, discussing the challenges France will face under its new (pro-Europe) president and the ramifications for Brexit. Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister, offers the view that a landslide general election victory might not strengthen Britain's bargaining position with the EU at all...

Brexit PodcastWeekly Brexit news round-up with Jen and TimThe new guidelines on the EU's negotiating position dominated Brexit developments this week - and it was tough talk from EU Council President Donald Tusk. With a united front the clear priority for the 27 states, Theresa May's government can expect no quarter given as the EU insists it will decide timings for any trade deal. There are also further calls for the guaranteeing of EU citizens' rights in the U.K., the need for a financial settlement before Britain leaves, and the rebuttal of any sector-by-sector deals to protect the integrity of the single market.

With the June 8 general election fast-approaching, Steph picks up on a couple of Theresa May's key aides resigning, how the PM left students vexed with his non-committal attitude over university tuition fees, and also questions Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's dithering over whether to commit to a second EU referendum should Labour miraculously seize a share of power. We also look at how Donald Trump's hardball tactics over Obamacare and the wall on the Mexican border is threatening to shutdown the US government - and what...

Brexit PodcastOh snap, another election! Henry Newman on what it means for BrexitIt was in 1990 that German pop act Snap! released dance track with the catchy lyric “I’ve got the power.” Now 27 years on, Theresa May has called a snap election hoping for a similar mantra. The PM wants to draw a line under the Brexit naysayers, or in the subtle words of the Daily Mail’s front page… CRUSH THE SABOTEURS. The current polls suggest it will give her the mandate she needs to push on with Britain’s exodus from the EU but a lot can change between now and June 8. Henry Newman, director of think-tank Open Europe, joined Tim t...

They also discuss the migration paradox of falling numbers of overseas students (making Jen somewhat enraged), and how important non-Brexit laws are being kicked into the long grass as the Great Repeal Bill takes priority. Brexitiers might also welcome the potential scrapping of the EU Renewable Energy Directive and we drop briefly in on a general store on the Irish border for a rather coarse comment on how the...

We brought the former UN diplomat and current Indian MP on to discuss the UK's historical amnesia and its relationships to commonwealth nations post-Brexit.

With so much #Brexit news over the past few days, we thought it would be a good time to ask him back on the show to see if he was any more positive over Britain's future. A rather forlorn hope. Tim and Jen co-host, and after Dave introduced us to the UK's somnambulistic (that he defines as sleepwalking into a disaster) tendencies last time, this time he's bemoaning the regretful omnishambles he believes British politics has become. We hope you enjoy the...

Brexit PodcastPaul Coleridge on how Brexit might improve family stability and marriage ratesOnce again, today's episode provides a platform for quite a controversial opinion. Paul Coleridge, a former high court judge and founder of the Marriage Foundation, recently penned an article for The Telegraph in which he made the suggestion that Brexit might result in an improvement of family stability and marriage rates. As you can imagine, this created a storm of backlash online so we thought we’d bring him on to elaborate on his point and to share why exactly he believes marriages are worth protecting.

Canada has recently overtaken the UK as the most desirable destination for EU students, and the number of those applying for early deadline courses via UCAS has dropped by nine per cent. And it doesn’t look much different for the teaching staff as the University and College Union found that 76 per cent of EU academics working in Britain are now more likely to consider leaving the country and a third of them already know of fe...

Brexit PodcastEducation, ethnicity, age - BBC's George Greenwood digs into why Britain voted for BrexitSince the EU referendum we’ve been hearing a lot of generalisations about voting patterns.

They discuss how sterling's depreciation (the currency, not the player!) is seeing an exodus of stars to China, and why the future could see more red tape than red cards.

He also reveals a) he’s a big fan of the Carpenters, and b) his age, by suggesting the mellow ‘We’ve only just begun’ should be the long-playing soundtrack to our EU exodus.
