Brexit like it’s 1999

One the big strands of my political geekery is a fondness for obscure party political broadcasts (PPBs).

We’re lucky in this country that – unlike the USA – you can’t buy television airtime if you’re a political party. All parties get is the occasional PPB allocated to them, with quite a few more during election campaigns. They’re generally in proportion to support, so big parties get a few, and fringe parties might only get one in an entire election.

It’s probably less of a hindrance to part...
