Brexit is getting done – Politics Weekly podcast


Speaking on Tuesday, the prime minister said the new parliament was “a vast improvement on its predecessor”. Of course he would say that, as essentially he now has free rein to follow through on his most coveted promise: passing the withdrawal bill and getting Brexit done.

As the Tory party welcomes its new MPs, the Labour party is saying goodbye to some of its own, who lost their once comfortable seats. But can Labour come out the other side a stronger party that can win back some of the votes it so painfully lost last week? What can it do to rebuild the “red wall”?

To discuss all this, Heather Stewart is joined by Momentum’s national coordinator, Laura Parker, together with Robert Colvile, the director of the Centre for Policy Studies, a Conservative thinktank, and Matthew Holehouse, senior correspondent for MLex.

Plus, Rajeev Syal meets with the outgoing Labour MP Liz McInnes as she clears out her office, and Andrew Sparrow talks about what it’s like to run the Guardian’s Politics live blog at such a tumultuous time in the UK.
