May, EU live in interesting times: Brexit

The Economist Podcasts

As party leaders grill Britain’s prime minister—and with a looming European election the country was due to avoid—we examine how the Brexit mess is dissolving party allegiances. Turkey was once seen as a success story in dealing with Syrians fleeing conflict, but as war has dragged on their welcome is wearing thin. And, kinky and camp meet fraught politics in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.


Additional music "Thoughtful" and "Under Suspicion" by Lee Rosevere.
