Oh God, What Now?

It’s been 24 hours of scarcely believable Tory chaos as the Brexit clown car finally loses its wheels. Boris Johnson and David Davis are out — but what does it mean? IAN DUNT and DORIAN LYNSKEY hotfoot it across a febrile London to gaze in disbelief at the smoking wreckage of the Red, White and Blue Brexit. 

Beware: sound quality is variable. Regular show back on Friday as usual. And has anyone seen our heart pills?

On this week’s show we welcome comedian and actor INGRID OLIVER – yes fellow nerds, it’s UNIT scientist Osgood from Doctor Who – to the Remainiacs bunker to discuss Vote Leave finally (?) being brought to book for election spending, what the German half of her family think of Brexit, and her own raging case of Brexophobia. It’s OK for Ingrid! She’s got a German passport. What about the rest of us?

PLUS: Theresa May’s Third Way on customs: unicorn or dead duck? DANNY DYER speaks for England. The NHS treacherously prepares for a Hard Brexit, just because they want to look after their patients. And we revisit Alan Moore’s fable of a fascist Britain V FOR VENDETTA in the return of Remainiacs Book Club.

This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Naomi Smith. Audio production: Sophie Black. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

This week on the anti-Brexit podcast for people who actually KNOW how to rebel… the Greens’ Brexit and Finance spokesperson MOLLY SCOTT CATO MEP joins us to dig into the scandal of the Leavers short-selling sterling. Did hedge funds illegally use private polling to profit from weakening the pound on Referendum Day? And where does Nigel Farage fit in?

PLUS: Because you demanded it, we welcome political commentator, actor and our favourite Greek guy ALEX ANDREOU as a regular Remainiacs team member. He joins Ros Taylor and Andrew Harrison to discuss the Tories’ new anti-business business policy, what “settled status” for EU citizens really means… and is the EU really going to outlaw memes? _DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK FACE! _

Then Ros has to dart out early before the end of the show. That’s why she’s not in the pic with Molly, Alex and Andrew. But don’t worry, she’ll be back soon.

Tough week. Tension in the studio as we record this show on Wednesday afternoon while the crunch debate on the “meaningful vote” is taking place. Listen in for analysis on what it could mean, where we go next… and then stunned disbelief as Dominic Grieve folds at the last minute. Guess that’s a case of “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… that’s absolutely fine by me?”

PLUS after May promises to pay for that NHS budget hike with the imaginary, non-existent “Brexit Dividend” we ask is there anything left of the Conservative brand now that the Tories have given up on Toryism? We call out the disgraceful co-ordinated attacks on young Remain campaigners by Seamus Milne’s social media army of hard left “human meat puppets”.

And JAMES McGRORY of Open Britain joins us to preview the March for a People’s Vote on Sat 23 June. See you there with banners flying. We’ve been knocked down – but we’ll get up again. They’re never going to keep us down.

“What the hell did plumbers do to this country to make Brexiters so angry at them?”

Why do they keep doing this to us? YET AGAIN major events occur immediately after we finished recording Remainiacs on Wednesday. So YET AGAIN we've recorded a quick-and-dirty response to events. On this minicast, panel regular NAOMI SMITH talks about Theresa May’s unprecedented bait-and-switch over the Withdrawal Bill with producer Andrew Harrison. Will Dominic Grieve and the Tory Rebels ever trust the Prime Minister’s word again?

This time we’re not recording in a pub or a park but in the echoey chambers of Best For Britain, so beware – sound quality is rough and ready and volume levels are unpredictable. We’ll be back next Friday with a properly-mixed show. In the meantime, just think of this episode as an ”unreleased demo”…

On this week’s podcast, Guardian columnist and former Russia correspondent RAFAEL BEHR joins us to explain the mind-crushing complexity of Withdrawal Bill day. What happened, who won (if anyone) and where do we go from here? Did Theresa May play Dominic Grieve like a sucker? And if she did, can the Rebels come back at her in any meaningful way? (We recorded on Wednesday 13 before May “allegedly” went back on her word to Grieve regarding the Meaningful Vote. Update minicast coming soon).  

Plus: Inside the sleazy world of Arron Banks, Isabel Oakeshott and Andy Wigmore, a story featuring ACTUAL Moscow Gold! The looming clash between Imaginary Brexit and Real Brexit. And why the Tommy Robinson Gammon Riots in Whitehall are really, truly worrying. 

“Tory rebels need to stop acting like time is on their side. It’s not. It’s on the Brexiters’ side.”

No sooner had we pressed "stop" on recording Wednesday's show than all sorts of bizarre events unfolded. Brexit cheerleader Paul Dacre announced his retirement from editing the Daily Mail, David Davis went through another pantomime resignation threat… and Boris Johnson's attempts to get sacked reached new heights of absurdity. "Pro bono publico, no meltdown" – really?

So Ian and producer Andrew headed to London's lovely Hyde Park (pubs are too noisy) to quickly get it all down so you don't have to wait a week. Forgive our dodgy sound quality – we thought you'd want it as quick as we could get it to you. Enjoy.

This week on the Brexit podcast that’s so powerful the government schedules its bad news for Thursdays to make sure we miss it… Special guest JONN ELLEDGE of the New Statesman and Citymetric joins us to talk about how urbanisation relates to Brexit. Is the old “Remain metropolises vs Leave countryside” conundrum really nonsense? Is there a plan for infrastructure after Brexit? And more importantly, why does Jonn love propellerheaded Brexit wonk Dan Hannan so much? 

PLUS: What’s really behind Jeremy Corbyn’s massive turnaround regarding the single market? SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY: Can the government get a proper day of debate on the Withdrawal Bill done in one day? (Spoiler: course it can’t). And why we might be living through a 1970s TV series called THE ARMAGEDDON SCENARIO. 

And marvel as we try to predict what major events we’ll miss this week because they happened after we finished recording – and totally miss the resignation of Paul Dacre AND Theresa May utterly duffing up David Davis over the customs backstop. Thanks Paul! Thanks Theresa and David!

On this week’s Remainiacs, Times columnist and social media fighter-of-good-fights HUGO RIFKIND joins Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt for this week’s battle with the horrible Hydra that is Brexit.

This week: Why Leavers shouldn’t dare conscript the Irish abortion referendum into their arguments. Why Remain couldn’t win another referendum the same way Leave won the last one. Do Labour MPs really have anything to fear from their Leave voters? How would YOU mark what they’re insisting on calling “Brexit Day”? And Italy – clowns to the left of me, fascists to the right…

“Populism isn’t good at answers. It’s good at anger. But there comes a point where you can say to them, OK, you’re in charge now. What are YOU going to do?”

It’s REMAINIACS ASSEMBLE as all our regular panelists convene to “celebrate” a whole year in the Brexit time warp. Ian, Ros, Dorian, Naomi and Peter listen back to our very first episode – back when “strong and stable” was still a thing – to ask, what has changed? What did we get right and wrong? Will Britain ever escape from the time loop that is Brexit? Will Britain ever escape from the time loop that is Brexit? And will Britain ever escape from the time loop that is Brexit…?

PLUS: Are the Tory Remainers finally about to grow a spine? If Benedict Cumberbatch is going to play Dominic Cummings, who should the BBC cast as Johnson, Fox and lumpen swamp creature Arron Banks? What are the most Brexity and Remainy movies of all time? And stay tuned to the end of the show for *a twist that nobody was expecting… *

“Still, with just a few months to go, none of the parties have got their acts together. It’s extraordinary.”

This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Peter Collins, Naomi Smith, Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Sophie Black. Producer: Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.
