Summary
If the government is going to keep to its Brexit timetable, a divorce deal between Britain and the EU needs to be finalised this week. We’re due to leave at the end of March 2019, so as politicians scrutinise the final details, what do we know about how things will be different after that? Chris Mason and Adam Fleming from Radio 5 Live’s Brexitcast tell us that if all goes to plan we may not notice very much difference at all - to begin with. That is, unless, you own a ferret.
Producers: Harriet Noble and Georgia Coan.
