Chris pops back with special guest host Nick Crosby to discuss another bonkers week in Brexit.
Did the last week seem even crazier than normal, even for the bumper bonanza of bonkers that is #Brexit Britain?
In this special edition of #3Blokes In A Pub, filmed LIVE at Joshua Brooks, Jason and Graham travel to Manchester to meet with special guest Mancunian and puller-of-no-punches Terry Christian. We talk #Brexit, May's Deal, No Deal, the People's Vote and occasionally go off on tangents about bananas and stuff.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May's (war?) dance at the Tory Party conference; DUP leader Arlene Foster's "blood red lines"; Boris Johnson's "Chuck Chequers" speech and the Taoiseach's meetings in Brussels with Council President: How healthy are the prospects for a Brexit breakthrough ahead of the October 17th summit?
As UK Theresa May headed to EU Summit in Salzburg this week, the expectation was that her Brexit Chequers White Paper would be met with a muted, but not hostile response, relieving her of some pressure before her party's conference later this month. Europe Editor Tony Connelly talks to Brexit Republic from Salzburg and we'll hear from An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and UK Prime Minister Theresa May.
Strong headwinds facing UK Prime Minister Theresa May's Chequers Brexit plan. / Michel Barnier doesn't like it much, Brexiteers don't like it at all, but Theresa May still insistent that Chequers is the best plan. / This week, we look at the political to-ing and fro-ing in the UK and get the views of Conservative MP and former UK Attorney General Dominic Grieve.
Ambassador Declan Kelleher about the conduct of negotiations, red lines, the border on the island of Ireland, and the upcoming UK cabinet meeting at Chequers. / Jill Rutter, Institute for Government's Programme Director and an expert commentator on Brexit among other things. The IfG is seen as having an "up close" view of the UK government's thinking.
The day after the May Deal finally fell to a record defeat (with an even worse vote than her projected result if she hadn’t bottled it in December) Ian Dunt, Naomi Smith and Dorian Lynskey convene to ask what the hell is going on and how will it all end.
