  • How Brexit Happened Part 3: Six Prime Ministers Later
    Jul 1 2026

    In the third and final part of their Brexit trilogy, Tom is joined by Associate Professor Dr. Monika Brusenbauch Meislová to ask ten years on from the EU referendum, where are we now?

    You can listen to How Brexit Happened Parts One and Two, wherever you get your podcasts from.

    Monika traces how Brexit changed the way British voters view the role of government in their daily lives, assesses where UK-EU diplomatic and strategic relations stand today, and explores whether there are any realistic scenarios in which Britain could ever rejoin the EU.

    The conversation also takes in each of the six Prime Ministers who have navigated the aftermath of the vote, from David Cameron through to Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, to Keir Starmer. Monika unpacks what each Prime Minister demanded of the EU, what they won, what they lost, and what they left behind.

  • Andy Burnham: Britain's PM-in-Waiting
    Jun 27 2026

    British politics used to be boring. Not any more. Over the course of a long weekend, Andy Burnham won a crucial by-election in Makerfield, forced Keir Starmer to resign as Prime Minister, and became the frontrunner to replace him.

    Tom and Sidd set out the key moments that brought down Keir Starmer, explore who Andy Burnham is, the policies he espouses, and the team he's expected to bring with him to Downing Street.

  • How Brexit Happened Part 2: A Tale of Two Campaigns
    Jun 22 2026

    In part two of our three-part series marking ten years since the Brexit referendum, Tom and Sidd return to their old stomping ground, Cardiff's School of Journalism, Media and Culture, to interview their former lecturer Dr Mike Berry, Director of the MA in Political Communication.

    Mike traces why immigration became the issue that swallowed every other debate during the campaign, and how decades of media coverage left voters with a skewed picture of the EU long before the official campaign began. He explains the thinking behind "Take Back Control," one of the most effective political slogans in modern British history, and why Remain's rational, economics-led case struggled to compete with it. The conversation also turns to where things stand a decade on, and whether the same result would happen if the vote were held again today.
