Descripción

In our latest episode, Phil and Nick explore the implications of Donald Trump's apparent aim to gain control of Greenland within the next three years before he completes his second term in office. Phil breaks down what might motivate Trump to want to take over a territory that the US already has troops based in and the implications of any international response.  The conversation quickly goes global to focus on NATO and Europe's increasingly unstable position if they are unable to rely on US unilateral support.  As ever, Brexit is never far from the surface when discussing Britain's situation, and the pair speculate about whether Trump's hostility towards Europe could lead voters to lean back towards closer continental alliance. It's a wide ranging episode but hopefully the way Phil breaks down the detail makes things as obvious as Trump's fake tan... Please like, share and get the message out there!

Episode 2: Happy New Year- We Need Migrant Workers Over Here!

Phil and Nick are back by popular demand to present politics in a way that is palatable to all. In our second episode, Phil explains why immigration has skyrocketed in the UK post Brexit- despite all the pre-referendum promises- and why the government has quietly made it easier for workers from the rest of the world to fill the void left by the lack of EU citizens.  We explore the idea that the British public support EU migrants working in the NHS, care homes, and in seasonal work, but these are the very people that Brexit has slammed the door on and ask the question- if the UK public had Freedom of Movement explained properly to them, would we want it back? Hopefully the way Phil breaks down the detail makes things clearer than a sunny, dry January day... Please like, share and get the message out there!
