With the Tories moving ever more to the right while Labour moves left, there has been a lot of talk about whether the UK needs a new party, our answer to Emmanuel Macron’s En Marche!. Renew Britain wants to be that party. Founded in 2017, it hopes to occupy the abandoned centre ground in UK politics and to represent all those who feel like picking between red and blue is like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. But what exactly does the party stand for, what are it’s chances of success?  We talked to James Torrance about how he went from being an accountant to an independent candidate in the 2017 general election to the co-founder of Renew and about why he wanted to found a new party in the first place.  Of course, we also discuss the ever-present elephant in the room: Brexit. James ran as an anti-Brexit candidate and stopping Brexit is one of Renew’s core goals. But why and how do they plan to go about it?

121: James Torrance founded a new party to stop Brexit and save the planet

One of the key issues in the Brexit negotiations – and one of the three highly contested matters to be put on the table this far – has been citizens rights. But all too often, both the media and politicians talk predominantly about EU citizens living in the UK while completely sidelining the fate of Brits living abroad. For today’s podcast we brought on Karen O’Reilly, a Sociologist and research dellow at Goldsmiths University to shed some light on the forgotten side of this coin. She is part of the Brexpats project which examines the issues of freedom of movement, citizenship and Brexit in the lives of Britons resident in the European Union. We already talked to Karen’s colleague Michaela for episode 89 back in July about the initial response of Brits in France. We thought it was time to check in with the project and talk to Karen in the wake of her field trip to Spain about how expats are feeling about the state of the negotiations this far, how they have progressed and what, to them, would be the ideal outcome.

Tamara Cincik

The fashion industry employs over 880,000 individuals in the UK and generates upwards of £28billion for the economy, but is its voice being heard over Brexit? One woman who wants to make sure its concerns are on the agenda is Tamara Cincik, who is the brainchild behind Fashion Roundtable, a parliamentary lobbying project, that launches officially on November 21. Tamara joins Tim to discuss the role and concerns of the almost entirely pro-remain fashion industry as the UK’s exit from the European Union draws ever nearer.

Mike Galsworthy

What impact will Brexit have on scientific research? Will the UK suffer in terms of innovation and talent? And can any positives be taken from the democratic decision to leave the European Union? Dr Mike Galsworthy is the founder of Scientists for EU, a lobbying group set up before last year’s referendum to try and educate both government - and the public - on the pros and cons of voting In or Out.

Elspeth Hoskins

The last time we checked in with youth lobbying group Undivided it was for Episode 12 of the podcast, and fresh from the result of the EU referendum they were crowdsourcing a manifesto to take to parliament to outline the key Brexit issues for young people. Twelve months on, Tim is joined by campaign manager Elspeth Hoskins, who outlines their progress to date and explains how they are bending the ear of politicians to try and secure the future of Erasmus - the European student exchange programme - and improve political education for young people.  Elspeth is also the convenor of the All Party Parliamentary group on A Better Brexit for Young People (@APPG_Brexit).

Alastair Campbell

The combative and eloquent Alastair Campbell has a reputation among many journalists for his belligerence.  He is widely painted as a bully. YouTube is replete with videos of him going toe to toe with a who’s who of political figures and journalists. It’s clear Campbell has a public platform and voice that few others enjoy. He’s now setting about using it to try and stop Brexit.

Henry Bolton

Henry Bolton is the new leader of UKIP and faces a fascinating challenge, needing to realign and strategise a party on the brink of electoral irrelevance when it loses its MEPs in 2019. Rather him than me. He spoke to the Brexit Podcast about becoming the Pro-Brexit opposition, UKIP’s intention to launch a positive future for a United Kingdom outside of the EU and, obviously, how he would vote if the referendum was rerun tomorrow.

Marie-Noelle Loewe

Angela Merkel has recently denied Theresa May’s request to guarantee the rights to residence, work and healthcare for British people in the EU and Europeans in the UK post-Brexit until the UK government specifies the terms under which it will be leaving the union. The lobbying group 3 Million argues that this could result in up to 1m EU citizens facing deportation. Today's guest, Marie-Noelle Loewe is a director of the civil rights organisation New Europeans, which advocates for European citizenship and the rights of EU citizens in the UK. We touch on a wide range of topics, from why there should be more of a European community spirit to why her generation has taken the stability and peace it brings for granted. We also discuss, why now is the time for immigrants in the UK to be loud and proud to defend their right to stay. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #3million #marienoelleloewe #expat #immigrant #immigration #freedomofmovement #jobs #neweuropeans

Shazia Awan

Race hate and xenophobia has skyrocketed in the months since the EU referendum. Shazia Awan, a Welsh Equality and Diversity Consultant, former Conservative Parliamentary candidate, and today’s guest, has experienced this first hand. Jen talks to her about racism within the UK’s political system, Zach Goldsmith’s divisive mayoral campaign as well as the abuse she has personally received and witnessed since that fateful day in June. The Remain campaigner also shares her opinion of what, if anything, can be done to elevate these tensions, which have led to a record number of verbal and physical assaults.

Geoff Norcott

How did a working class boy from a housing estate in south London grow up to vote Tory – and then take his one-man show and right wing political views to the Edinburgh Fringe? In this episode we catch up with English teacher-turned-comedian Geoff Norcott, who explains how trying to put a positive slant on Maggie Thatcher is received by the liberal lefties, how he deals with hecklers, why he voted LEAVE in the EU referendum. He also explains how optimism can work wonders and then moves on to the important issues – such as bringing back cooked breakfasts on Saturday mornings. Check out more of Geoff’s work at his website geoffnorcott.com.

The dust storm around Brexit shows no sign of settling, but how has it affected the UK businessmen and women who deal with European regulation on a day-to-day basis? Foregoing the conjecture, the UK200 Group decided to find out by conducting an extensive survey into the prevailing mood. Tim caught up with the report’s author, Jonathan Franks of accountancy firm Hillier Hopkins, and discovered the survey produced some enlightening results.

Katinka Barysch

It might be No 1 on the the UK's #Brexit wishlist, but while Britain furiously debates whether a bad trade deal is worse than no deal with Europe, the continent's leading economic powerhouse is not really bothered.That's the view of Munich-based Katinka Barysch, a political researcher at financial service company Allianz. It might seem strange that with Germany exporting €86 billion worth of goods to the UK, chancellor Angela Merkel would not be under more pressure from the manufacturing sector to stay on good terms with Britain. But as Tim discovered, Merkel's political priorities, including immigration, the rise of the right, an upcoming election and reluctantly coping with a growing reputation as the "leader of the free world" hold far greater sway. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #Negotiations #Germany #government #theresamay #tradedeal #trade #economics #exports

What does Jeremy Corbyn really think of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union? While the Labour leader’s political stock has risen to such extent he could become the next prime minster, his view on Brexit still confuses much of the electorate. Paul Goldsmith, author of the recently published How to Lose a Referendum: The Definitive Story of Why the UK voted for Brexit, joins Tim to examine the issue, explaining why the Labour party has long-since been divided over Europe, how so much European legislation is at odds with true ‘Corbynism’ and how the man at the helm can really influence thousands of people to chant his name at festivals while being ambivalent to the remainers cause.

Conor Devine is a driven character. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis on his honeymoon in 2006, he has battled adversity to become a successful businessman, a devoted father-of-two and an impressive endurance athlete. Proud of his roots in County Tyrone, he also has fears for the future of his nation in a post Brexit UK.

Blondel Cluff

The plight of 15,000 worried souls on a tiny Caribbean island must not be forgotten. That is the message from Blondel Cluff, the representative of the government of Anguilla to the UK and European Union, who has grave concerns over the human cost of a hard Brexit to the British dependency. Blondel joins Tim to explain why a fiercely British Anguilla needs to be moved up the priorities in Westminster or risk desperate healthcare conditions - including a shortage of drinking water - on leaving the EU. Blondel is also the chief executive of the West India Committee, a charity that works to improve the trade interests of the West Indies, Guyana and Belize, and she explains how a border resolution for Anguilla could provide a workable blueprint for other border disputes with the European Union - notably between the north and south of Ireland. You can find out more about the work of the West India Committee by visiting http://westindiacommittee.org where you can read the white paper titled Anguilla &amp; Brexit: Britain’s forgotten EU border. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #EU #UK #Anguilla #SaintMartin #TimHeming #BlondelCluff #WestIndiaCommittee #News #Politics #government #theresamay #negotiations #whitepaper #irishborder

It's been more than a year since the UK voted to leave Europe, but we've still not made any meaningful progress on negotiations. As both sides stubbornly hold their ground, Jen talks to negotiation trainer and author of The Leader’s Guide to Negotiation, Simon Horton, about where we've been going wrong and how we can still turn this ship around with a little bit of good food and a cheeky chat show appearance by David Davis. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #DavidDavis #MichaelBarnier #negotiations #SimonHorton #negotiator #talks

Rob Watts

Whether through admiration, envy or intrigue, the nation remains captivated by those of great wealth. So what do they think of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union?–Or do they simply have too much money to care? There could be no-one better to turn to for insight that Rob Watts, the former deputy political editor of the Sunday Telegraph, who now has the task of compiling The Sunday Times Rich List. Rob tries to convince Tim that his life does not consist of leaping from super yacht to super yacht trying not to spill his Dom Perignon, but that as well as wading through thousands of company accounts, he does meet a varied mix of opinionated characters. This episode offers a rare insight into the world of the super rich and the mind-set of both flamboyant and intensely private individuals who are linked by their business success.  #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #robwatts #robertwatts #economy #trade #theresamay #rich #wealthy #sundaytimesrichlist #onepercent #1% #wealth

Charlotte Gerade

Joe Porter

A Remainer and a Leaver explain how they overcame their differences to make sure the interests of young people will be represented in the Brexit negotiations. Only 43% of 18-24 year olds voted in the 2015 general election. In June’s EU Referendum, that was up to 64%. Young people are becoming more engaged with politics and in this episode Tim and Jen caught up with two leading the charge, Charlotte Gerade and Joe Porter. The pair are two of the co-leaders of lobby group Undivided, which is collating the biggest concerns from 1,000,000 13-30 year olds across the country to come up with a 10-point manifesto to take to parliament. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #CharlotteGerade #JoePorter #Undivided #campaign #activist #young people #youth #teenagers #negotiations

In, out, or still shaking it all about? With the general election in the offing and manifestos flying in all directions, you could be forgiven for not knowing each party’s exact stance on Brexit. So Tim kicks off the weekly round-up with a rapid-fire run through of who is calling for what and why. Welcoming back co-host Warren, they then discuss how German chancellor Angela Merkel is likely to put Brexit negotiations into a holding pattern, how the UK’s fishing industry is (or rather isn’t!) in deep water, and look at an emotional plea from food critic Jay Rayner over labour shortages in the food processing industry. Tim finishes by introducing a new section – BrexTwit - where he piles into Twitter to look at some of the more insightful tweets of the week from our expert guests. As always, please do get in touch through Twitter and Facebook, and let us know what you think. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #WarrenPole #News #Politics  #AngelaMerkel #France #Germany #TheresaMay #JeremyCorbyn #Election #LembitOpik #Fishing
