141: REMAINIACS LIVE: Democalypse 2019 Part 1 with JAMES O’BRIEN Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

A Sunday bonus: the first of our two DEMOCALYPSE 2019 shows at the Leicester Square Theatre from Monday 23 Sept, in case you couldn’t make it or you want to “experience the magic” again.

Listen up as Dorian, Ingrid, Ian and special guest James O’Brien dig into the Supreme Court, the phenomenon of “Chaos Voters”, and the future of Divided Britain… and they play a few rounds of that ‘Leave Or Remain’ game that’s been doing the rounds lately too. Who will get what category and is Jim Royle from The Royle Family a Lexiter?

We recorded this show the night before the Supreme Court judgment came down, so please make allowances for certain things which might have dated it. Hold tight for audio from our second Democalypse 2019 show from the same night, with the great Mark Gatiss as our special guest.

Our Patreon backers will get that show first, like they got this one too. If you want to receive all our podcasts early via your own RSS feed, plus loads more benefits, sign up at https://www.patreon.com/remainiacscast

Special shout to Paul Freedman for the title pic, to Charlie Elwess for scrubbing up the sound recording, and to all at the Leicester Square Theatre.

Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ingrid OIiver and Ian Dunt. Special guest James O’Brien. Producer by Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters Production.

140: PARLIAMENT UNPROROGUED – plus guest Robert Webb Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK! As Parliament returns in righteous anger and the Brexit Press bleat about how the Supreme Court has DESTROYED DEMOCRACY, the Remainiacs team reconvene to find out if everything really has changed. Special guest ROBERT WEBB – Peep Show star, author and fellow appalled Brexit-watcher – joins us to explore this next circle of hell.

This week: Watching history in the pouring rain. Should the Labour Party be grateful that the Supreme Court furore took the spotlight off the Brexit stitch-up at its conference? Who spiked Geoffrey Cox’s latte with crazy juice and how did Barry Shearman handle it? Do the Nazis in the Mitchell & Webb “are we the baddies?” sketch hold the key to Britain’s psyche? And why won’t Boris Johnson resign?

“The government’s plan is so clearly to smear Parliament because it couldn’t shut it down.”

Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor, Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production by Sophie Black. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

139: JUDGMENT DAY Supreme Court EmergencyCast with David Allen Green and Schona Jolly QC Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

Incredible scenes on a monumental day, as guests Schona Jolly QC and David Allen Green hotfoot it across London to join Naomi Smith in Remainiacs HQ.

Just how damning was the Supreme Court judgment on Johnson’s illegal prorogation? How on earth can the Government brief against the most significant constitutional judgment in – possibly – centuries? Where do we go from here? Should we all go out and get drunk? And who would pick fight with Lady Hale, with her laser eye and her spider brooch?

“The Government can study this as long as they want. There’s no route for them to appeal it.”

Presented by Naomi Smith, recorded by Elsie Bath at Soho Radio. Remainiacs is a Podmasters Production.

138: JUSTICE LEAGUE HITS SUPREME COURT with guest Jolyon Maugham Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

With the legality of prorogation being tested in the crucible of the Supreme Court, we welcome Good Law Project director and Remain legal vanguard JOLYON MAUGHAM QC to the studio to discuss exactly what’s at stake. If the Government wins this one, could future administrations simply suspend Parliament whenever it likes, as if in some authoritarian Hokey-Cokey?

Plus, the maddening detail of what would be required to implement Johnson’s imaginary deal. What does the Lib Dems going broke for revoke mean for future dealings between the Remain parties? Is Jo Swinson out-Hulking the other party leaders? Does Corbyn’s reiteration of Labour’s neutrality in any future referendum actually mean anything? And Ian finally gets to discuss modern politics as explained by the character arc of the Incredible Hulk.

Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production by Mike Kemp for Soho Radio. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

136: GAGGIN’ FOR BREXIT plus guest Bridget Phillipson MP Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

As the Prorogue Leader’s plans fall apart at the first hurdle, we look at the fallout of The Week It All Went Wrong. Will a silenced Parliament speak louder than an active one could? Does Johnson have any real power left? And will there be anything remaining of the Tory Party after #ClassicDom Cummings has finished “remodelling” it?

Plus BRIDGET PHILLIPSON, Labour MP for Houghton and Sunderland South, joins us to correct a few myths about the Left Behinds, shine a light on the path marked No Brexit, and give us the latest on Labour’s ever-changing Brexit moves.

Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ingrid Oliver, Alex Andreou and Ian Dunt. Audio production by Alex Rees. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

135: THE LYIN’ KING LOSES CONTROL plus guest Jonathan Lis Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

Was that the shortest honeymoon since Cher married Greg Allman? The Johnson-

Cummings plan is in bits on the floor of Parliament and Bojo’s jolly mask has well and truly slipped. As the petulant boy king threatens a General Election he can’t deliver, the Remainiacs team gather with special guest and journo Jonathan Lis of think tank British Influence to work out what happened and what it all really means.

Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ian Dunt. Audio production by Sophie Black. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Remainiacs is a Podmasters production.

134: PROROGUE STATE Emergencycast with David Allen Green Aug 30, 2019

Show notes

Things are moving far too fast to wait ’til next Friday. Ros Taylor, Alex Andreou and guest David Allen Green gather in the studio to look at the legality of prorogation, the chances of beating it in the courts or elsewhere… and the poor performance of Her Majesty The Queen. Or was it?

133: MAD COUP DISEASE plus guest Hugo Rifkind Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

The moment of truth is finally here. Johnson-Cummings have decided it’s necessary to destroy parliamentary sovereignty in order to “save” it. But the Remain Alliance finally has its act together — and the numbers to stop No Deal.

Alex Andreou is optimistic. Remain Wonder Woman Naomi Smith is ready for battle to be joined. Host Andrew Harrison is panicking. And special guest HUGO RIFKIND of The Times wonders why he picked this week to do Remainiacs…

Listen up. The Endgame is on and we can’t give up now.
