Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government

Specific and Limited Chaos


Listen Later

As Boris Johnson attempts to feed the Withdrawal Bill into a shredder marked “Internal Market Bill”, what does it mean for the rule of law, civil servants and the devolved nations when a government tries to abrogate international law? And as a new IfG report shows the Government’s plans to reach zero carbon by 2050 are way off track, what does it need to do to meet this ambitious target – and what will it cost?  


“I can’t see any way this gets through the Lords in its current form.” – Alex Thomas 

“The nature of the law is, you don’t get to choose when to follow it – because it’s the law.” – Raphael Hogarth

“Some of the rationale for this is reasonable and some of it is Mad Max chaos and destruction.” – Alex Thomas


Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Maddy Thimont-Jack, Alex Thomas and Raphael Hogarth. Audio production by Alex Rees
