Did the Crisis of the 2010s Make Brexit Inevitable? - With Annette Dittert Breaking Britain: A Podcast about the Politics of a Disunited Kingdom

    • Arts

In the final years of the 2000s the UK and EU were rocked by seemingly endless turmoil on global financial markets. A sense of crisis over the future of the banking system and the Euro converged with a surge of support for eurosceptic populism to fundamentally disrupt British political life.

To discuss the turmoil that enveloped the UK in the early 2010s we've been joined by Annette Dittert, who as London correspondent for German public broadcaster ARD has witnessed the ups and downs of British politics up close since 2008. With her extensive knowledge of the British political scene as well as her previous experience as a foreign correspondent in Warsaw and New York, Annette provides fascinating insights into tensions in British politics that laid the foundation for the fateful vote to leave the EU in the Brexit referendum of June 2016.

The background music is by Through the City by Crowander, and the production for this podcast was by Daniel Mansfield.
