Description

As Boris Johnson drags us back to 2018 with his NI protocol meddling we discuss the latest Brexit wranglings (yes, again…).

“Sunak would be in a tricky position if he’s relying on Labour on a vote of this magnitude.” – Ian Dunt 

“Keeping the Conservative base today will be the test for the rest of Sunak’s time as Prime Minister.” – Seth Thévoz
