Brexit: Deal or No Deal?

The UK faces hard choices on what kind of future trading relationship it wants with the EU, or indeed whether it wants to do a deal at all.

The UK faces hard choices on what kind of future trading relationship it wants with the EU, or indeed whether it wants to do a deal at all.

Patrick Minford, of the pro-Brexit advocacy group Economists for Free Trade, lays out his vision of an economically thriving Britain, free of EU regulation, and striking free trade deals around the world. But is this realistic? And what would happen if the UK simply walked away from the negotiating table? Former trade negotiator Sir Andrew Cahn has serious concerns. Plus Dutch author and journalist Joris Luyendijk gives an acerbic European perspective on the dilemmas facing the UK.

Presented by Manuela Saragosa. Produced by Edwin Lane and Laurence Knight.
