Pull out all the backstops: Boris Johnson in Europe
Over deze aflevering
Britain’s prime minister is on the continent ahead of this weekend’s G7 meeting. We ask whether he’ll be able to ditch the Irish “backstop” that has become Brexit’s stickiest sticking point. We take a look at FedEx, its old-school disrupter founder and how it is itself being disrupted in the age of Amazon. And, economists tease out the long-suspected link between marijuana and the munchies. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
