Brexit: Where We Are Now
with
Dr. Joanna Spear
Events are moving fast on Brexit, but the outcomes remain unclear. So far Britain has had two referendums, lost two prime ministers, seen the Queen caught in the politics, had a new political party emerge, an old one revive and a working Parliamentary majority reduced to -43. Meanwhile, while Britain falls apart the European Union remains apparently united. The drama is not over. What next for Brexit?
