Paul Mason on Brexit;
George Kerevan on Brexit in Scotland.
The Brexit crisis is consuming the UK much as Trump is in the US. Paul Mason calls it Brexhaustion, and says Chaos is being normalized… albeit manufactured. The daily ins and outs are more than confusing, especially to outside spectators, but we shed light on this now constitutional crisis with British journalist and writer Paul Mason, and with political economist, journalist and former SNP MP George Kerevan, who fills us in on the Scottish case by framing for us just how the UK came to this pass, how Britain has been massively convulsed by the internal divisions rocking the dominant Conservative (Tory) Party – such that Boris Johnson, now in power, could be seemingly denouncing the very capitalist interests the Conservative Party was supposed to represent. Brexit didn’t create these developments, but it is the outward form in which these divisions are being played out – and we get both George Kerevan and Paul Mason’s analyses.

| Puerto Rico rising
|
| Rafael Bernabe, professor, activist and author joins us from San Juan Puerto Rico, where nearly two weeks of massive protests brought down the corrupt government of Ricardo Rosselló. Rosselló fell, after the Center for Investigative Journalism released nearly 900 pages of chat messages between him and his inner circle, revealing the contempt they held for the population. They lined their own pockets, while imposing extreme austerity on Puerto Rico’s population, even after Hurricane Maria devastated the island’s infrastructure and left thousands dead. But it wasn’t just the most recent events that brought the people’s anger to the boiling point: the economic meltdown of 2008-2009 hit a Puerto Rico already ensnared in a never-ending debt crisis engineered by vulture funds, and when natural disaster hit following economic disaster, conditions went from bad to worse. Rafael Bernabe helps us understand this trajectory, and we’ll get his take on what direction he sees for Puerto Rico after the magnificent success of the mass movement.
