'Remoaners', 'wingerama' and 'moonbats'

Westminster Hour

Available for over a year

The Westminster Hour's John Beesley takes a look at modern political discourse, from eloquent put-downs of characters such as Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg, to more aggressive forms to come out of passionate Brexit and US elections debates. He also talks to editors from the Oxford English Dictionary and parliamentary sketch-writer Quentin Letts on new words such as 'remoaners', 'libtards' and 'moonbats' to enter our political vocabulary thanks to social media.
