L'amore mai sbocciato tra Unione Europea e Regno Unito ha visto il suo definitivo tramonto con il referendum del 2016, che ha sancito l'uscita del paese anglosassone dal blocco europeo. Un distacco che, dopo estenuanti trattative e dialoghi tra i due governi, è avvenuto ufficialmente a inizio 2020, ma che sta avendo ancora importanti strascichi relativi alle trattative per definire nel dettaglio gli accordi commerciali della Brexit.

Britain is set to leave the EU by the 31st of January 2020.
Brexit was a legitimate vote in every sense of democracy, but what was the rationale behind the result from the majority who voted leave?

Abstracts Podcast#2 - The Psychology of BrexitIn this episode we discuss the psychology of Brexit and ponder the question, “Why can’t we communicate?”. We talk about what Locke from Lost has got to do with Brexit, what evolution has to say about our behaviour, and why one side (literally) sees the forest while the other sees the trees. Can we learn anything about politics from personality traits and the psychology of group behaviour? We get into it over a bottle of gin in another episode of Abstracts.

Brexit PodcastBlondel Cluff on the threat of Brexit to AnguillaThe plight of 15,000 worried souls on a tiny Caribbean island must not be forgotten. That is the message from Blondel Cluff, the representative of the government of Anguilla to the UK and European Union, who has grave concerns over the human cost of a hard Brexit to the British dependency. Blondel joins Tim to explain why a fiercely British Anguilla needs to be moved up the priorities in Westminster or risk desperate healthcare conditions - including a shortage of drinking water - on leaving the EU. Blondel is also the chief executive of the West India Committee, a charity...2017-08-2418 min
Brexit PodcastBrexit news round-up with Jen and TimIt promises to be another Brexit-fired news agenda this week with five new position papers being rolled out by UK Brexit minister David Davis and plenty of debate about how negotiations should be negotiated. But before we tie ourselves completely in knots, Jen and Tim convene to have a look the main points. First up, they run the rule over the five papers - including the removal of jurisdiction from the European Court of Justice. Focus then switches to the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla, some contradictory opinion polls, and Chukka Umunna trying to put some “clear red water” betw...2017-08-2223 min
Brexit PodcastJen and Tim review new political play The MajorityThe #Brexit podcast team had a rare evening out to watch Rob Drummond's new one-man show that tries to make us reflect on how we deal with differing viewpoints (spot the #Brexit link!) But rather than just putting their feet up and nodding off for an hour in the National Theatre, Jen and Tim were invited to take part by making a lot of morally-challenging Yes/No decisions via an electronic handset. As an exercise in accepting the views of others - or, at least, not dismissing them wholesale - it was a fine evening's education, all told through...2017-08-1712 min

Brexit PodcastDonald Trump has his say on BrexitWhat does #POTUS think of Britain, the special relationship between the US and the UK, and the possibility of a unique and highly prosperous trade deal between the two countries? Tim managed to obtain a transcript from one of Trump's rare mainstream media (MSM) interviews, this time with the Wall Street Journal, to try and clarify Trump's position to listeners. In that somewhat simple aim we have probably failed, although we do cement the fact that he likes golf. With all things Trump, this one is based on brevity and we''ll be back with rather more informed #Brexit experts...2017-08-0308 min
Brexit PodcastPaul Goldsmith on what Jeremy Corbyn really thinks of BrexitWhat does Jeremy Corbyn really think of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union? While the Labour leader’s political stock has risen to such extent he could become the next prime minster, his view on Brexit still confuses much of the electorate. Paul Goldsmith, author of the recently published How to Lose a Referendum: The Definitive Story of Why the UK voted for Brexit, joins Tim to examine the issue, explaining why the Labour party has long-since been divided over Europe, how so much European legislation is at odds with true ‘Corbynism’ and how the man at the helm...2017-08-0131 min

Conor explains how a stand-off between Sinn Fein and the DUP has left Northern Ireland devoid of an executive and in a state of “paralysis” and he how he fears the thought of direct rule from Westminster.

Brexit PodcastStephen Timms shares an inside look at the Brexit Select CommitteeIn the wake of Theresa May spectacularly losing her majority in the general election, calls are mounting for the Prime Minister to establish a cross-party Brexit group. Stephen Timms, who has been the Labour MP for East Ham since 1994, joins us to explain how the Exiting the EU Select Committee (which he was elected to at the end of last year) is already fulfilling that exact role. He also addresses criticism of the committee's impotence and how this might change post-election, why he thinks votes swung in favour of Labour and why he supported neither of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership...2017-06-2222 min

Brexit PodcastLembit Öpik on what the general election result means for Brexit“A worse gamble than David Cameron’s decision to call the EU Referendum,” is how Lembit Opik terms Theresa May’s decision to opt for a snap general election.
The former Liberal MP joined Tim to discuss how the (current) prime minister’s plan of turning to the electorate to strengthen her mandate for #Brexit negotiations has spectacularly backfired, and how the Tories' probable coalition with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party to scrape a parliamentary majority is likely to play out. They consider what the DUP will want in return for playing its dutiful role as king-maker and Lembit both...2017-06-1336 min

They then discuss what challenges to future security Britain's decision to leave the European Union might bring, before closing out the episode with a look at how Theresa May's snap 'Brexit election' call might have backfired, and if anything can be done to make Donald Trump peer over his garden wall towards...2017-06-0627 min
Brexit PodcastAlan Hastings on how Brexit can be a prize catch for the UK fishing industry"So long, and thanks for taking all our fish." That’s the message to the European Union from Alan Hastings of campaign group Fishing for Leave, who believe #Brexit presents a golden opportunity to regain 70 per cent of the UK’s fisheries resources and rejuvenate a multi-billion pound industry. While they might have been celebrating the Leave vote last year, Alan now joins Tim on the show to discuss Fishing for Leave’s recent fears over the deliberate wording in the Conservative’s election manifesto - where 200 miles of sovereign waters surrounding the UK could be reduced to just 12 miles.

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...2017-05-2541 min

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...2017-05-2333 min

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...2017-05-1120 min

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.

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.

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...2017-04-2533 min
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.

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...2017-04-1822 min

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.

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...2017-02-2318 min
