Hello and welcome to this edition of The Westminster Hour with me Ben Wright and my guests.

Coming up, nine years after the vote for Brexit, we'll discuss the summit in London, which

Sequeir Starma hopes will reset relations between the UK and the EU. Defense, trade, passports and fish are all on

the menu. We'll consider what's likely to be agreed and whether it's a sellout or the start of a new

era. We'll also consider President Trump's unique approach to diplomacy after his recent

Middle East tour. How should friends and rivals of the US respond?

And ahead of a review of sentencing, are shorter prison terms and more punishments in the community,

the answer to Britain's bulging jails. That's all coming up. First, let's meet my panel.

Dame Emily Thornbury is the Labour MP for Islington South and

Finsbury. She also chairs the Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee. Hello, Emily.

Hello. The Conservative Neil Shastry Hurst represents Solly Hill West and Shirley, a former doctor,

army officer and barrister. He also sits on the Commons Justice Committee and Neil joins us

down the line. Hello, Neil.

Hi, Ben. Anand Menon is Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College, London.

As director of the UK in a changing Europe think tank, he became our go-to expert on all things Brexit-related a few years ago, a specialism which continues to be very handy as the government

tiptoes back into the choppy waters of our relationship with the EU.

They'll never go out of fashion men.

And journalist Rosa Prince is with us to, political commentator at Bloomberg.

We start, of course, with the big summit tomorrow.

And for this part of the program, we're joined to by Victoria Collins,

the Liberal Democrat MP for Harpenden and Berkhamsted.

Welcome to you as well.
