Are the Brexit wars back?

Customs union, single market, rejoin, second referendum. It's all feeling a little Ground Hog day in Westminster after Andy Burnham reopened the Europe question at Labour Party conference. Hosts Sascha O'Sullivan and Pat Baker find out how the row over Europe will play out in the next few years, with Reform MP Danny Kruger and Labour MP Stella Creasy. Sascha speaks to Cecilia Malmström, former EU Trade Commissioner during the Brexit negotiations, who says any new deal with the EU would need to be "Nigel Farage-proofed" in case Reform wound up in Downing Street. UK-EU reporter Jon Stone explains what Burnham is hoping to gain from the EU summit next month, and whether Britain's friends in Brussels care about Westminster looking again at Britain's relationship with the trading bloc. - 00:00 Introduction 03:16 Return of the EU wars? 08:00 Stellar Creasy and Danny Kruger 18:58 Could there be a second referendum? 24:10 Does the EU care about the UK? 27:20 Former EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom 32:45 The 'Oddcast' Learn more about your ad choices.
