78: Toby Baxendale on the start of Brexit negotiations

It has taken four days shy of a year, but Britain’s democratic decision to leave the European Union has just become very real. As formal Brexit negotiations commence and Britain’s Brexit minister David Davis eyeballs the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier across a big table in Brussels, Tim is joined by businessman Toby Baxendale to look at the key tenets of the talks. They discuss Theresa May’s ‘increased’ mandate for Brexit, the potential cost of the divorce, the plea from the UK business community to focus on the economy and the differing positions Britain might take.
