Normally I avoid broadcasting with RT. I was persuaded to do this broadcast with Alex Salmond, partly by the quality of his other guests. As he says:
In the second in a series on UK economic trends, Alex interviews two leading commenters, from north and south of the Scotland-England border, on the political economy of Brexit and the extent to which the debate is being governed by underlying economic conditions.
From Scotland, former MP George Kerevan details an economic prospectus that offers an alternative to the consensus austerity position of liberal democracies; while, from England, taxation specialist Professor Richard Murphy spells out some of the practical unintended consequences of a hard Brexit, which the Government has not taken into account.

Excellent interview Richard and very informative – maximum economic disruption for very little political gain indeed. I can see no other outcome on the current path, and you have clarified much on why that might be.
On my previous premise that the whole purpose of – or drive for – Brexit is to cause disruption to the EU (for mainly US global economic desires), then the no-deal brexit is the one that will create the most disruption for the longest period of time, hence the current government’s choice for pursuing it. They seem to have no thought for the lives or livelihoods of their citizens, or the economic devastation it will cause here – do they believe everything will spring back into the usual order of things after? I have to say, I very much doubt anything will be miraculously returning to ‘normal’ even now, before their dark-ages style vision of devastation occurs. I am sure they will all be personally making a fortune from it, and I wonder how wealth inequality will look in 10 years time.
Thanks
What’s the problem with RT? Because the powers-that-be are itching to take RT off our air-waves, that have to be very careful with their assertions. This makes RT more reliable than most other channels! Why not support them?
BTW Richard, you were excellent.
Thanks
Oh dear.

Jo Swinson is saying the Lib Dems cannot support Corbyn:

The political economy? Is there one these days? I did wonder at Berger and Umunna joining the Lib Dems.
This does not look good. I might not bother voting at all with bullshit like this.
Very constructive discussion Richard which I found most interesting. Do you draw any lessons from the fact that the BBC continually thwarts you from getting an airing like this, while RT have given you a very fair crack of the whip?
No….
