  • Too much fuzzification

    Too many participants who can’t get through a sentence without “kind of” “ sort of” or both. Shall end up only listening to scripted solo podcasts

  • Biased anti-UK pro-EU propaganda

    Had hoped to get balanced views about a complex issue. What a shame that instead this podcast trots out the same anti-Boris, pro-EU viewpoints without any attempt at balance. The host might think that each biased talk is “utterly fascinating”, but I cannot take such a biased podcast seriously. What a shame.

The UK in a Changing Europe podcast: curtain call
Q: Do you have any thoughts about where this relationship might go over the short to medium term? It feels a bit unsustainable where it is now, but I'm not quite sure where else it goes, which is a bit of a conundrum.
The panel discusses the limits of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the challenges of dynamic alignment. Catherine Barnard says closer alignment could raise constitutional questions and make rejoining more appealing; Jonathan Portes anticipates political pressure for closer ties, while Jill Rutter argues that intermediate arrangements may also prove unstable and the UK could muddle through the status quo.
The UK in a Changing Europe podcast: curtain call
Q: Looking back over this period that we've all studied from various different angles, what has surprised you most, what sticks in your mind most, are there any particular memories of this whole process that come to mind when you think about it?
Catherine Barnard recalls that the project was initially funded for just one year, expecting a Remain vote, and describes how Brexit exposed problems in the state and differences between the centre and regions. Jill Rutter and Jonathan Portes reflect on unexpected political consequences and their experiences of the period.
It's complicated: Tom McTague on UK-EU relations
Q: Sell it to people in 30 seconds.
The book is the long and underexplored part of the Brexit story, explaining why Britain voted to leave after decades of a complicated relationship with Europe, and it highlights the persistence of those who fought against membership who finally saw a win in 2016.
Not walking backwards: the future of the UK-EU relationship with Marina Wheeler KC
Q: Can you just sort of briefly talk us through the main arguments?
The book argues for a continuing but reimagined engagement with the EU: closer cooperation on big issues like defense and economy, without reinstating full membership, and with a focus on sovereignty and reform within the EU rather than rejoining the previous structures.

Q: What should we look out for next year in British politics?
