104: Pete North from the Leave Alliance says ‘Flexcit’ is the UK’s only hope

Pete North from the Leave Alliance is an advocate of his lobbying group’s self-styled ‘Flexcit’ - and is clearly a man who lives and breathes politics. The blogger from Bristol joins Tim to explain why although he believes Britain should exit the European Union, the cliff edge of a hard Brexit would be disastrous. Pete explains why unilateral trade is the fanciful whim of idealists and how Britain’s current discord with the EU has been brought about through a democratic process desperately in need of reform. This interview is a little longer than most as Pete digs into the detail, but we hope - whether you agree or disagree with his views - you think he brings valuable insight to the debate.
