Brexit Podcast

There's no doubting the popularity of English football, but has Brexit scored an own goal in the Premier League's bid for global domination? Marc Webber, feature writer at FC Business magazine, joined Tim to discuss the knock-on effect to British clubs of leaving the European Union. They discuss how sterling's depreciation (the currency, not the player!) is seeing an exodus of stars to China, and why the future could see more red tape than red cards. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #football #soccer #markwebber #premierleague #fcbusiness #players

Cornwall was a large net beneficiary of European Union funding yet 56 per cent of its residents voted to leave. Graham Smith, from news website Cornwall Reports, joins Tim and Jen to discuss the perceived wisdom behind the decision. Graham has been a journalist in the county for 36 years and provides great insight into the economic and social challenges this remote part of the UK now faces. We discuss agriculture, tourism, and the fishing industry and ask the hard-hitting questions, such as: With the potential loss of seasonal migrant workers, who is going to pick the early-blooming daffodils? You can find more insight from Graham at his click-bait free website cornwallreports.co.uk #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #cornwall #cornwallreports #farming #fishing #economy #tourism #pensioners #retired #subsidies #funding #commonagriculturalpolicy

Will Britain reap what it has sowed with Brexit? Sir Richard Packer recently wrote a report on how our agricultural policy should function once we leave the European Union. He joins Tim to discuss whether free of subsidising fellow EU states, we're now set for a bumper return. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #agriculture #economy #sirrichardpacker

On Tuesday it was finally decided. The Supreme Court ruled that parliament must be consulted before Article 50 can be triggered, bringing to an end one of the most important and perhaps most controversial constitutional law cases in decades. But what exactly will this mean going forwards? We talked to Stephen Chater of Postlethwaite Solicitors and the UK200 Group to give us a refresher on the two sides of the argument as well as possible consequences. #actofparliament #appeal #Article50 #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #eu #EUreferendum #government #GreatRepealBill #houseoflords #jenniferhahn #JeremyCorbyn #labour #libdem #negotiations #news #nicolasturgeon #no10 #parliament #podcast #politics #Referendum #snp #supremecourt #TheresaMay #timfarron #TimHeming #UK #VoteIn #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #Westminster

The word of the year in 2016 was post-truth. But what does that mean, was there ever such a thing as truth politics and how do we fight the pervasiveness of fake news without tipping over into censorship? Jemima Lovatt, the founder of the London Legal Forum and host of a recent panel discussion on how to ensure honest elections in post-truth politics came on the podcast to share some of her biggest takeaways from the event. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #JemimaLovatt #LondonLegalForum #RebelLaw #law #legislative #judiciary #executive #government #parliament #post-truth #censorship #theresamay

On Tuesday, Theresa May finally gave her long-awaited Brexit speech. Friend of the podcast Robyn Munro from The Institute for Government gives us a quick roundup of her main points and what to look out for going forwards. We cover everything from whether the UK might leave the EU without a trade deal to why the Northern Irish government collapsed, what that could mean for Brexit and what a hard Irish border would look like. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #TheresaMay #speech #daviddavis #ireland #government #parliament #whitehall #westminster #speech #freetrade #singlemarket #immigration #conservative #pmq #instituteforgovernment #robynmunro

He may have got on his bike and zoomed out of front line politics, but the ever-intrepid Lembit Öpik is never short of an opinion. Tim was joined by the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) spokesman and Liberal Democrat party member to discuss all things Brexit and find out how MAG is trying to stall the health and safety drive of bureaucrats in both Brussels and Westminster. In probably our most wide-ranging interview to date, Lembit gives his view on immigration, housing supply and social disparity, and what he would have done had he been elected London Mayor. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #LembitÖpik #LembitOpik #LibDem #LiberalDemocrats #MAG #MotorcycleActionGroup

Was the resignation of Sir Ivan Rogers a blessing or curse for Britain? The UK's ambassador to the EU quit last week to spark celebrations from Brexiteers who felt he was overly pessimistic and angst among Remainers who rue more upheaval in negotiations with the EU. Tim and Jen spoke to Open Europe's Vincenzo Scarpetta to find out how much influence Sir Ivan really wielded and whether his replacement, Sir Tim Barrow, will help strike a more positive note for the UK as the invoking of Article 50 looms large. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #sirivanrogers #resignation #diplomat #civilservant #whitehall #ambassador #sirtimbarrow #theresamay #davidcameron #departmentforexitingtheeuropeanunion

What have social bots, big data and a hi-tech company from Cambridge got to do with Brexit? A lot more than we might think. Tim spoke with Isabel Gahren, a freelance human rights journalist from Berlin to find out how the news, and therefore, our thoughts and feelings, can be manipulated by technology and why it might have played a critical role in the EU referendum result. To find out more about Isabel's work visit https://futurechallenges.org and weve.info, a website that looks to verify user-generated video as a way to prove where and when human rights violations occur. #berlin #bigdata #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #cambridgeanalytica #eu #EUreferendum #facebook #isabelgahren #manipulate #news #podcast #politics #Referendum #socialbots #socialmedia #technology #TimHeming #trump #twitter #UK #VoteLeave #VoteRemain

How did the EU Referendum come to pass? David Cameron isn't the only one who might be scratching his head as to why a public vote was granted. In this episode, Tim goes on a solo mission to find out and discovers how the little known Backbench Business Committee grew to wield huge influence in shaping the future of our country. Tim takes listeners through a fine piece from the BBC's parliamentary correspondent, Mark D'Arcy, and learns the key protagonists in triggering the referendum, and ultimately Brexit, came in the unlikely form of a politics professor and the speaker of the house. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #parliament #government #davidcameron #bbc #markdarcy

For our 30th episode, co-host Tim Heming reveals the five things he has learned from Brexit and doing a podcast about one of the most divisive political events in modern history. We touch on his frustration about people's intransigence, the difference between complacent and active optimism and on whether Brexit will mean a crisis for comedians because reality is finally stranger than fiction. We also open the ability of this podcast to be impartial up for discussion so, as always, do feel free to throw in your two cents. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #comedy #education #post-truth #impartial #ireland #hardborder #optimism #intransigence

The Brexit Podcast is going Dutch today for a chat with successful author and Brit abroad, Holly Seddon. Holly talks to Tim about about living as an ex-pat in Amsterdam and how the Dutch are taking a keen interest in the curious events in Britain since June. She also shares her concerns for the future education of her young family in a more divided Europe and explains why the referendum result means she does not want to return home any time soon. #amsterdam #author #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #dutch #emigrant #eu #EUreferendum #ex-pat #expat #hollyseddon #immigrant #jenniferhahn #netherlands #news #podcast #politics #Referendum #TimHeming #UK #VoteIn #VoteLeave #VoteRemain

It’s podcast co-founder Warren’s turn to bring us his five takeaways from everything Brexit so far. He pulls a few surprises from his cracker when chatting to Tim as to why Brexit will be good for business but bad for families, and lays into the mainstream media for not so much muddying the waters, as polluting them altogether. He also reveals a) he’s a big fan of the Carpenters, and b) his age, by suggesting the mellow ‘We’ve only just begun’ should be the long-playing soundtrack to our EU exodus. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #WarrenPole #33shake #entrepreneur #business #startup #media #post-truth

Against the backdrop of rising uncertainty and soaring costs, how is one sports' industry still making double-digit growth? The day after Olympic gold medallist Alistair Brownlee finished runner-up in the BBC's Sports Personality Of The Year awards, Tim caught up with chair of the Triathlon Industry Association, Mel Berry, and her colleague Gary Roethenbaugh, to find out why its 75 key stakeholder are so optimistic about its future. They discuss gender equality, the lessons other industries can learn from sport, and suggest why a dwindling UK economy might actually be good for sales as more of us escape to swimming, biking and running. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #AlistairBrownlee #BBCSportsPersonalityOfTheYear #sports #triathlon #GaryRoethenbaugh #MelBerry #TriathlonIndustryAssociation

For today's episode we are joined by recurring guest Robyn Munro, a senior researcher at the Institute for Government. Last time she was on, Theresa May had just announced her plans to trigger Article 50 in March, followed by the Great Repeal Bill. A lot has happened since then, so Robyn walks us through the High Court case against government, shares some insight on what the government’s negotiating position is and how Whitehall is dealing with the influx in Brexit-related work without letting everything else fall to the sidelines. #Article50 #Brexit #brexitlegalcase #BrexitPodcast #departmentforleavingtheeu #eu #EUreferendum #GinaMiller #government #GreatRepealBill #InstituteforGovernment #jenniferhahn #negotiations #news #podcast #politics #Referendum #robynmunro #TheresaMay #TimHeming #UK #VoteIn #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #Westminster #Whitehall

Brexit is not just the subject that sparked a million news stories but also ample fodder for creatives who delight in dissecting and commenting on political matters in their work. One such wordsmith is James Graham who is responsible for some of the most successful political plays in recent years including This House about Labour’s struggles in the 70's as well as Privacy, a Broadway play about the surveillance state featuring Daniel Radcliffe. Now, he has taken on the task of writing the screenplay for a TV drama about the Brexit campaign and referendum day. Jen chatted to him about why Brexit makes such a great topic and about how he will try to be objective in his writing despite being a passionate Remainer. He also shares his view of how theatre can build bridges in our incredibly polarised society. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #conservative #tory #labour #playwright #play #theatre #tv #drama

Angela Merkel has recently denied Theresa May’s request to guarantee the rights to residence, work and healthcare for British people in the EU and Europeans in the UK post-Brexit until the UK government specifies the terms under which it will be leaving the union. The lobbying group 3 Million argues that this could result in up to 1m EU citizens facing deportation. Today's guest, Marie-Noelle Loewe is a director of the civil rights organisation New Europeans, which advocates for European citizenship and the rights of EU citizens in the UK. We touch on a wide range of topics, from why there should be more of a European community spirit to why her generation has taken the stability and peace it brings for granted. We also discuss, why now is the time for immigrants in the UK to be loud and proud to defend their right to stay. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #3million #marienoelleloewe #expat #immigran

What makes a well-travelled chemistry teacher decide to become a politician for the UK Independence Party? Tim talked to David Kurten, who has taught at state and private schools from Botswana to Bosnia, and Bermuda to New York, to find out. In a wide-ranging interview, David explains that why - with the EU Referendum won - he believes there is still a role for UKIP, and how a hard Brexit is essential for Britain’s future. As one of two UKIP members elected to the London Assembly in March, he also explains how the party needs to distance itself from extremists if it’s to prosper. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #Leave #Remain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #davidkurten #ukip #ukindependenceparty #labour #tory #theresamay #conservatives #article50 #hardbrexit #softbrexit #immigration #climatechange #globalwarming #leadership #leadershipcontest #nigelfarage #dianejames #paulnuttall #post-truth

Dave Bromage was an opinionated Herts & Essex Observer columnist before his remonstrations were culled in journalism's latest round of his budget cuts. It's only served to make a man, who would joust with irate readers on message boards, even angrier. Tim invited Dave in to chat about everything Brexit, from post-truth politics to the fightback of the Liberal Democrats and why he's sticking to the centre ground... even as it's being pulled from under him. #Article50 #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #davebromage #eu #EUreferendum #jenniferhahn #journalist #libdemfightback #liberaldemocrats #news #nickclegg #podcast #politics #post-truth #Referendum #TheresaMay #thesun #TimHeming #timfarron #UK #VoteIn #VoteLeave #VoteRemain
