Chopper's Brexit Podcast 4d114o

After a madcap 24 hours following the Supreme Court’s prorogation ruling, Christopher Hope returns to the safety of the Telegraph audio studio, alongside Whitehall Editor, Owen Bennett and Associate Editor, Camilla Tominey. They bring us the inside line from the courthouse in London, the Labour Party Conference in Brighton and the freshly re-assembled House of Commons. Up for discussion: what Baroness Hale’s judgement means for Boris Johnson, whether the Government is still negotiating a Brexit deal and why one of our journalists thinks political division is nothing new.
