  • Rejoining the EU? – On the agenda for 2025?
    Dec 17 2024
    As bad Brexit news piles up, a new poll says that even Leave voters would welcome freedom of movement if it meant access to the Single Market. But is the question of Britain rejoining the EU ever going to make it into mainstream politics conversation? We look at the hurdles. Plus, the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has put the American people’s hatred of their health system in the spotlight. How deep does this resentment run and how did it get so bad that someone would kill over it? AND we have a special returning former panelist to the show this week: Ahir Shah is back after a year-long hiatus! We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Hannah Fearn, Rachel Cunliffe and Ahir Shah. Producer: Chris Jones.
