Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government

Inside the Brexit endgame – plus Hilary Benn MP


Listen Later

How can we make government work more effectively? What are Brexit and the current political tumult doing to our institutions? What needs to change in our system of government – and how can we change it? We’ll explore all these things and more on INSIDE BRIEFING, the new podcast from the Institute for Government, Britain’s leading governmental think tank.


This week: As the most momentous weekend of the Brexit saga looms, we look at the detail of the Johnson Deal and how it might play out in the Commons. Could we get an accidental No Deal after all? Special guest Giles Wilkes joins us to explain his detailed IfG report on on what No Deal would really mean for business. And we talk to Hilary Benn MP, Chair of the Brexit Select Committee, on the workings of the Act that bears his name (colloquially at least). Will it come into effect and what would the consequences be?


Presented by Bronwen Maddox with the IfG’s Hannah White, Cath Haddon and Joe Owen. Audio production by Robin Leeburn.
