Dominic Grieve: Britain's ramshackle constitution

Armando Iannucci: Westminster Reimagined | a New Statesman podcast

Britain doesn't have a written constitution. Is it time we did?

Armando and Anoosh are joined by former attorney general Dominic Grieve and the head of UCL's Constitution Unit, Meg Russell, to discuss Britain's "ramshackle" constitution - and whether democracy can continue to thrive in Westminster after Brexit without a codified system of government.

Guests

Dominic Grieve is a barrister and former Conservative MP who served as Attorney General for England and Wales from 2010 - 2014.

Meg Russell is professor in British and comparative politics and director of the Constitution Unit at University College London.
