Show Notes
Can it really be almost ten years since former PM David Cameron called the referendum to stay in or leave the EU? The summer of 2016 saw a country fall in behind Sunderland and vote to exit the European Union. David Cameron exited too, ushering in an era of new premiership under Theresa May, but Brexit cast too long a shadow for even May to escape and so she too fell on the sword Cameron had so kindly left behind.
Which, ultimately, somehow, has led us here with Sir Keir Starmer heralding a “new era” in relations with Europe, plus the promise of cheaper food and reduced bills. And something about those pesky passport gates.
Kemi Badenoch has been calling it a sell-out, while Nigel Farage has deemed this the end of the fishing industry in the UK. But is it? Can it be? Let’s do what we do best and find out with the help of our guests Catherine Barnard, Professor of EU Law at University of Cambridge, and Senior Fellow at The UK in a Changing Europe and Alex Phillips, Broadcaster and former Brexit Party MEP for Southeast England.

More from Apocalypse Now?
This week, we speak to journalist and best-selling author Douglas Murray on his latest book, On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West, drawing from on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, on a journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre.
This week, David comes live from Jerusalem as Iran, Israel and the US settle into what feels like a precarious ceasefire.
This week, David comes live from Tel Aviv where he was woken up on his first morning by an air raid siren, accompanied by a recorded Hebrew voice telling him to get to a shelter.
142 days, that’s all it’s taken. 142 days of Trump to help destabilise a country’s infrastructure, undo tenets of the constitution, buckle the economy and fall out spectacularly with a tech-bro big dog and then have a bitch fight about it all on social media.
‘Death from above’ isn’t just something painted on the side of Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore's helicopter in Apocalypse Now anymore. Now you can buy it off the shelf…
