Summary

The Matts open with a war update - the signals from Washington point to an escalation which will be devastating for the world, yet the off-ramp (as it apparently must be called) is difficult to divine. In part two they discuss what seems to be an inevitable movement towards rejoining the EU. Labour are headed towards the position already fully asserted by the Greens and Lib Dems - that Brexit was a catastrophe and needs to be undone. The Matts argue it’s not a case of Rejoin - but Join. Joining what, though? That’s the interesting, most challenging question in European politics today. Enjoy! Produced by Matt Withers OFFER:  Get  The New World  for just £1 for the first month.
