#PodcastOfIdeas: Brexit, US election and public health naggers

Listen to the team discuss Brexit, the US presidential election and public-health naggers. In this edition of the Podcast of Ideas, Rob Lyons, Claire Fox and David Bowden discuss the lacklustre start to the EU referendum debate and how the lack of cohesion in the pro-Brexit camp doesn’t bode well for the campaign ahead. In the US, politics is also in disarray, with anti-establishment candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders both narrowly missing out on winning their respective caucuses in Iowa, signalling a crisis for both the Republicans and Democrats. The team also discuss the latest killjoy advice from the UK’s most senior doctor, Dame Sally Davies, who believes that women should ask themselves whether they want to raise their risk of breast cancer every time they’re tempted by a glass of wine.
