A losing battle: How Brexit fallout tore Parliament apart
Description
Brexit is done — insofar as it ever will be. But the Brexit we got was not the one most Britons wanted. Years of bad-tempered Parliamentary battling only came to an end when Boris Johnson purged his MPs and stopped the Commons from sitting, then called a general election. Ros Taylor is joined by Meg Russell and Lisa James, authors of The Parliamentary Battle over Brexit, to talk about the damage done, the legacy of those years — and whether we should ever have a referendum again.
- “These terms of hard Brexit and soft Brexit only really come around after the referendum.” – Lisa James
- “So much of the story of Brexit is what’s going on with the Conservative Party over these years.” – Lisa James
