On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Labour Peer in the House of Lords Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe MP on Boris Johnson’s government heading towards a no deal Brexit, the impact it will have on the poorest in society, his thoughts on Boris Johnson’s new cabinet and aides and also why he isn’t optimistic of Labour winning a general election under Jeremy Corbyn. Next we speak to Going Underground’s Deputy Editor Charlie Cooke on Boris Johnson’s new cabinet and the controversies surrounding Home Secretary Priti Patel and Education Secretary Gavin Williamson. Finally, we speak to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Dr. Seyed Sajjadpour on the recent incidents involving tankers in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, how Iran will deal with the UK holding Iran’s tanker, the lessons learned by Iranians over the US withdrawing from the JCPOA and why Iran does not accept Mike Pompeo’s and the US’ requests for negotiations!
