Summary
The man who brought you Brexit has launched his party's manifesto and complained about....Brexit.
He recognises that small business has been more squeezed, immigration has rocketed , food costs have soared - but says the answer is to let him have your vote again so they can 'do Brexit properly'.
Will voters believe him again?
Later, we discuss the French football team's intervention into their own elections back home. Kylian Mbappé - a global superstar - is calling on voters to reject far-right politics in the shape of the National Rally (Le Pen) party.
Will that influence the vote?

| 0:40.1 | And none of that's happened. |
| 0:41.5 | In fact, the very opposite has happened. |
| 0:43.6 | So there are feelings of disenchantment there as well. |
| 0:46.2 | And of course, the failure of Nigel Farage's central idea, |
| 0:52.0 | Brexit has nothing to do with Brexit itself. It's to do with the politicians |
| 0:57.3 | in Westminster. And so only he, only he can be the one to come along with his contract to solve |
