Boris Johnson’s Brexit detour as John Bercow says NO to meaningful vote

After ‘Super Saturday’ in which Parliament voted to hold on a Brexit vote until legislation had been passed, and thousands marched on Westminster to demand a People’s Vote, Boris Johnson has been forced to take something of a detour from his planned roadmap. In today’s episode of The Leader, Ayesha Hazarika describes the view from the stage at the People’s Vote protest and discusses how the Letwin Amendment will change things for the Prime Minister and the Brexit process. After last week’s shocking racism during the England v Bulgaria international, more alleged racist behaviour broke up a match closer to home this weekend. An FA cup qualifier between Haringey and Yeovil Town saw the match abandoned following alleged racist abuse of Haringey players – who left the pitch in protest. Football correspondent Dan Kilpatrick joins the podcast to discuss what this means for English football. Plus a new bridge may be installed in Hammersmith to help make easier commutes across the River Thames – the Evening Standard thinks it’s worth considering.
