Can it really be almost ten years since former PM David Cameron called the referendum to stay in or leave the EU? The summer of 2016 saw a country fall in behind Sunderland and vote to exit the European Union. David Cameron exited too, ushering in an era of new premiership under Theresa May, but Brexit cast too long a shadow for even May to escape and so she too fell on the sword Cameron had so kindly left behind. 

Which, ultimately, somehow, has led us here with Sir Keir Starmer heralding a “new era” in relations with Europe, plus the promise of cheaper food and reduced bills. And something about those pesky passport gates.

Kemi Badenoch has been calling it a sell-out, while Nigel Farage has deemed this the end of the fishing industry in the UK. But is it? Can it be? Let’s do what we do best and find out with the help of our guests Catherine Barnard, Professor of EU Law at University of Cambridge, and Senior Fellow at The UK in a Changing Europe and Alex Phillips, Broadcaster and former Brexit Party MEP for Southeast England.
