This week I spoke to my old colleague Ed West who writes this week about post-Brexit remorse.

Ed writes this week that “just as Britain was taken into the Common Market on a lie, so it was taken out of the European Union on a lie” consequently “leave voters are left with a sickening feeling that we have helped to bring about a great disaster.”

Ed was always a champion of leaving the European Union and so I decided to call him and find out what had prompted his political conversion.

Enjoy!

00:34 Leaping into the dark

02:20 Why we should choose the "Norway Option"

02:58 What should we be most scared of following Brexit?

05:24 A great idea for a Remain advert?

08:10 The moral issue the Church is ignoring

09:15 Is Remain to blame?

11:18 Do we need a second referendum?
