Dear DIY Fascists - a podcast by Hope Not Hate

Matthew, Joe and Safya weight in on the “yellow vest” demonstration that took place in London last weekend. Brexit remains halted, as the recent vote in Parliament on Theresa May’s deal ended in historic failure, though May and her government survived by the skin of their teeth. May is meeting with party leaders to determine a plan going forward, but we favour a new referendum to include the people in the process of deciding on a Brexit deal. The team debates Chris Grayling’s inflammatory claim that failure to leave the EU would cause a surge for the far-right. Washington also faces a deadlock. Trump does not care to end America’s record-breaking government shutdown, as he hopes to save face with his online MAGA base to secure funding for his $5.7 billion border wall - a pricey symbol of white nationalism. Nancy Pelosi still has cards to play as she throws a wrench in his plans by withdrawing his invite to the House to deliver his State of the Union address. And still, Trump smiles over the fast food on silver platters for the college football champions, the Clemson Tigers, due to cutbacks made at the White House.
