Enjoy this (mostly) pre-recorded special in which Steve and Chris discuss European and UK federalism, EU democracy, and Westminster exceptionalism. Listen to the very end for a very special Easter Egg.

Ahead of next week's local elections in England, Steve and Chris wonder why Labour isn't doing better in the polls, what Labour's Brexit policy really is, and what Labour's strategists are smoking? Also: civic engagement, plastic toffs, and Lie(s) of the Week.
The wheels on the bus are coming off, coming off, coming off. Customs Union, Lie of the Week on the Swiss Border, and a thrilling new occasional segment. Brought to you by Milton Keynes European Movement's Day of Action 9 May 2018!
Taking a break from our usual format, we spend this week talking about the things we love about Europe. A lot of it is quite personal and, well... self-indulgent, so feel free to skip this one if it's not your cup of tea (yes that features).
Chris and Steve examine a "Soft" Brexit: what is it, who benefits from it, what are its pros, what are its cons, and should we settle for it? (Spoiler: no we bloody should not!) Plus: follow-up to our Europe Day special, Lie of the Week, and Culture Corner.

Listeners are advised that this podcast contains very strong language from the very start, including scenes of an adult nature. Listener discretion is advised. / A hell of a week in Brexitland. We skim over it all before getting stuck into the way in which the House of Commons handled the Withdrawal Bill and the amendments proposed by the House of Lords. There is some swearing.
You May Not Aspire to Embiggenment! Leave disinfo tactics, that damp squib Grieve Rebellion, and our People's Vote March hangover.
Chris pops back with special guest host Nick Crosby to discuss another bonkers week in Brexit.
Steve is back but Chris is on paternity leave so stepping into the breach is Steve Analyst!

Three for the price of none: Steve, Chris, and Steve talk about how they feel.
