#39 Kojo Koram on the politics of the Tory Brexiteers

Kojo Koram joins me to discuss the politics of the Tory Brexiteers.
We spoke about why it is that the prospect of trading on WTO terms
is so attractive to the European Research Group, and the strange
parallels between Tory Brexiteers and bourgeois nationalists in the
global south during the colonial era. We also discussed the idea of
a progressive English nationalism. Our conversation was prompted by
Kojo's articles in Dissent Magazine, the Guardian, and the Nation:
