Miscellaneous
On this week’s Murnaghan podcast – With the new Chancellor, Philip Hammond, set to deliver his first Autumn Statement this week, we hear from Paul Dreschler, President of the Confederation of small Businesses, on what he is hoping to hear from the Chancellor. We also hear from Labour MP Chuka Umunna, former Shadow Business Secretary and a supporter of the Open Britain campaign and from Conservative Dominic Raab, Member of the Exiting the EU Committee who was a prominent Leave campaigner, on what Brexit means for the economy. With UKIP under fire for having reportedly misspent EU funding on national campaigning, leadership hopeful Suzanne Evans sets out how she will respond to a request for the party to return this funding if elected leader. 60 Conservative MPs today write that they are pushing for a hard Brexit - so no access to the European Economic Area. But is that feasible? We hear from the former Health Secretary Andrew Lansley who is now in the House of Lords looking at EU internal trade. Finally, as always, a top team of political pundits mull over this week’s news – Fraser Nelson, editor of the Spectator; Ian Dunt, editor of Politics.co.uk and author of ‘Brexit: What the Hell Happens Next?; and Polly Toynbee, Guardian columnist. All on this week's podcast!
