Inside the Russell Brand trial with Lucy Reade, and a path to Europe

The Matts are joined by Lucy Reade, who watched the Russell Brand trial unfold at Southwark Crown Court. Lucy describes the day-to-day reality of the trial, her encounter with Brand’s father and what she believes the guilty verdict signifies. We also discuss modern-day misogyny and ask: could another Russell Brand carry out his appalling attacks on women today? You can read Lucy’s brilliant report on the trial and its outcome at The New World - for FREE! - today. Also - in part two - as Andy Burnham prepares for next week’s EU-UK summit we discuss the shape of a successful campaign to put Britain back at the heart of Europe. Enjoy!
