This week I welcomed Matthew Alford to discuss all things Brexit. We kicked off the show by talking about Boris Johnson’s rise to power. Matt talked about Johnson’s public persona as an “inbred upperclass twit,” and how this has shaped his political career. Next, we dove head first into the ongoing drama of Brexit. Matt […]
All bets are off now as the UK Parliament green-lights a general election for December. What are Boris’ chance and where will this leave BREXIT? Can Jeremy Corbyn and Labour rally enough support to overcome the current Conservative majority? Also, President Trump and the US government claims to have finally eliminated the alleged ISIS leader Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi, but have they really? On its face, the official US story doesn’t really add up. All this and more.

Brexit has turned out to be some sort of quasi-crusade for the radical right and their acolytes in the form of buccaneering Brexiteers and swashbuckling ‘Spartans.’ The truth about Brexit is really quite simple when boiled down. After all the bubbling water has turned into steam its real ingredients are eventually revealed. And what has been revealed is nothing but a sour and bitter aftertaste once we’ve taken our first helping. A sort of trade deal has been thrashed out – but not with our European neighbours, but with the American’s.

Since the moment the votes were totaled in the June 2016 Brexit referendum there has been nothing but handwringing about what it implied. The Brexit vote showed, quite clearly, that growing political unions were unsustainable.
It was the first in a series of electoral losses where the people finally said enough to an expanding EU.

While everyone, including myself, has speculated how Boris Johnson could be the Hero of Brexit, it may come down to French President Emmanuel Macron being that hero.
Macron has made noise after noise about not wanting to grant any more extensions to the U.K. to delay Brexit. He wants Brexit completed.
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss an unexpected outcome in the Brexit saga where French President Macron has clashed with the rest of the EU over the allowing a Brexit extension, as EU member states struggled to find common ground over how to respond to the deadlock in the UK parliament.
The United Kingdom is about to stumble into its terminal chaos of Brexit – the British exit from the 28-nation European Union.
With his customary hypocrisy, shamelessness and barefaced lies, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to do it on virtually the same terms that the outraged herd of Gadarene Swine Brexiteers excoriated his predecessor Theresa May for accepting.
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss UK PM Boris Johnson’s plan to seek snap elections if the EU proposes delaying the Brexit deadline until January.
Tuesday’s Commons votes, where MPs backed the Johnson’s deal at its first Parliamentary hurdle, but rejected plans to fast-track the legislation, has now brought the focus down to two main scenarios; pass the current, negotiated Withdrawal Agreement Bill, or move to pre-Christmas elections.
