Ep: 4 - 62 Kavanaugh's me too moment and the calls for a second referendum on Brexit

Today I’m joined by Alice Twaite of the Echo Chamber club in Kent and Amanda Marcotte of Salon in Brooklyn New York. In a week that has seen the Austrian EU Presidency propose a special Brexit Summit in November, we ask just what does the Kavanaugh’s me too movement say about sexual politics and power in America today?

Kavanaugh’s Supreme court confirmation, seemed certain, was cast in doubt after Dr Christine Blasey Ford said in an interview published Sunday by The Washington Post that a drunken Kavanaugh groped her and tried to take off her clothes at a party when they were teenagers. Ford said Kavanaugh put his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream.
