Daily: Brexit vs The Law with Joelle Grogan

The last four years have seen British politics turned upside down in ways unthinkable in normal times, so much so that constitutional law has become a sticking point. Joelle Grogan, lecturer at Middlesex University and creator of StickyTrickyLaw, talks to Ros Taylor about the clash between Brexit and our courts, what COVID has done to our constitution, and if Biden’s plan to pack the Supreme Court will come off.

• “We don’t have the same separation of powers as the US – here, Government and Parliament are synonymous to most people”.
• “I found it difficult myself to navigate the laws of the tiers – I even forgot their names”.
• “Covid has exposed how health is a devolved responsibility”.
• “We’ve seen many governments use the guise of judicial review to strengthen their power”.

Presented by Ros Taylor. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofrenijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.
