Can Brexit work?

Leave meant leave. Brexit meant Brexit. Brexit "got done". But can Brexit work?


Armando and Anoosh meet two brothers, both entrepreneurs, divided by Brexit. The family rift encapsulates the divisions between Leave and Remain camps that continue to impact British politics. Can the Baxter brothers, and the UK, come together and unite after years of division?


Guests

Ian Baxter is founder and chair of Baxter Freight, a logistics and supply chain solutions company with significant dealings in Europe. He voted to remain in the European Union.


Nigel Baxter is managing director of RH Commercial Vehicles, a supplier of Heavy Goods Vehicles. He voted to leave the European Union.
