BREXIT AND THE RISE OF THE BRITISH TRUMPS

• https://theintercept.com, Deconstructed

Only days earlier, Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May resigned in the wake of repeated failures to secure a deal on Brexit. So where does all this leave the U.K.'s effort to withdraw from the European Union? And what can the U.S. — which in the midst of its own anti-immigrant populist moment — learn from the turmoil across the Atlantic? Guardian columnist Owen Jones joins Mehdi Hasan to talk about the rise of British Trumpism.
Mehdi Hasan: Hello, it's Mehdi here. This month we're taking a minute or so before each show to invite you to become a member of our podcast.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, now is a time we all need to get behind journalists, media organizations that are trying to do their jobs, report the news, get to the truth. That's what we try and do on this show, week in, week out. And so I'm asking you all today to become a member and supporter of the Deconstructed community – to give whatever you can, 5, 10, 15, 20 dollars a month or more. Head to theintercept.com/give, theintercept.com/give.

I mean, you're a fan of what we do, right? You're listening to the show right now. You've downloaded it. You never miss an episode of Deconstructed. And why would you? Remember when we interviewed Senator Chris Murphy just after the senate voted to curtail the U.S. role in the war in Yemen? Or when Dr. Cornel West officially endorsed Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential bid, right here on this show? Or our coverage of Iran, Israel, Islam and democracy?
