Brexit and the People - a podcast by New Economics Foundation

from 2018-02-12T00:00

Brexit dominates the news agenda. But with all the talk of the single market, impact assessments and trade deals, it sometimes feels as if this debate is only happening in the comment pages of newspapers, or the corridors of Westminster. What happened to the people?

The Weekly Economics Podcast is back with a special episode: a discussion we recorded live in London at the end of 2017, between political theorist Maurice Glasman, activist Ruth Ibegbuna, and the academic Rob Ford. The question journalist Mary Riddell put to them was: where are the people in the Brexit debate?

Plus: Ayeisha Thomas-Smith gives an update on CabFair, our plan to create an ethical alternative to Uber.
