Conservative Eurosceptics reject Brexit blueprint

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the government publishes its proposals for its preferred future relationship with the EU, the Brexit-supporting Conservative former cabinet minister Owen Paterson tells us that the plan is a denial of what people voted for in the referendum. We'll hear about the compromises the government is making: trading over goods is being seen as more important than the financial services sector, which accounts for 80% of our economy. President Trump is having dinner with the Prime minister at Blenheim palace. We hear from one MP about why he should not be given any red carpet treatment. Also: the clinic in Canada which prescribes medical grade heroin to addicts. And why the sale of Christian Ronaldo to Juventus has prompted car workers to go on strike.
