This week we reached a new level of chaos in British politics. With parliament voting down all indicatives vote options, as well as May’s deal for the third time, the Prime Minister was running out of moves.
So that’s how we find ourselves here: with a Prime Minister reaching out to Jeremy Corbyn.
James Forsyth writes in this week’s cover article that the Iraq War, the financial crash, and the expenses scandal may have damaged the public’s faith in their politicians, but the impact of a failure to deliver Brexit will be even worse. The entire process has created an impression of a self-serving enclave of politicians who are interested only in ideological purity – not the interests of the people.
James joins Katy Balls on the podcast with Tim Shipman, Political Editor of The Sunday Times. They discuss what a cross-party Brexit would look like and how much longer we will remain in the EU– that is, if both leaders can agree to a deal at all.
