It has been an extraordinary few days of high drama, plotting and political turmoil.Theresa May was left fighting to save her career after the double resignation of Boris Johnson and David Davis.Her Brexit plans are now in doubt and she has been placed on warning by mutinous Tory MPs that they could still try to topple her.In this week’s Ayes to the Left podcast we examine one of the most turbulent weeks in recent political history.Jason Beattie talks to Prof Anand Menon of UK in a Changing Europe about the implications of Johnson’s departure and where it leaves Brexit.He explains how the chaos in Britain is viewed from Brussels and whether it will help or hinder the Brexit negotiations.And he discusses how Theresa May will almost certainly have to make further concessions to get her deal through. But could the EU also concede some ground?Anand also highlights the dangers which could still see the UK crash out without a deal.
