Can you believe that Theresa May is talking about bringing back her deal again! Remember that saying from Einstein (couldn't accuse any of the cabinet being bright enough to tie his shoelaces) “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” When we programmed this event we thought, oh foolish us, there would have been some movement one way or the other on Brexit, not the complete paralysis, or shit show as it's otherwise known, that we have now. Either way, it's still the issue that dominates British politics, so come down and listen to our very esteemed panel, all with a different take on Brexit and the effect it is having on society. Tonight in LEAF, Bold Street. Pay on door if you haven't already picked up a ticket.
