You thought Brexit couldn’t get any worse? Guess again. As we hurtle towards the brick wall of No Deal, the Tories think there’s no better moment for a time-wasting leadership contest. Luckily we’ve persuaded two of our most popular guests of the year — LBC legend JAMES O’BRIEN and comedy giant DAVID SCHNEIDER — to discuss the events of the most disgraceful week in British politics since…. well, next week.

On this episode: the ERG decide that the country has to be destroyed in order to save it. Theresa May’s stockpile of horcruxes. Why The Death of Stalin is mellow and comprehensible compared to this. How the Prime Minister will become “A lame duck encased in steel.” And WTF is “managed No Deal” anyway?

Plus David and James choose their high points and low points of 2018 — and conjure up some bright points of hope for 2019. It’s an epic guestclash.

REMAINIACS: Tough on Brexit, tough on the causes of Brexit.

This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Elsie Bath. Producer: Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.
