Great interview. Rafael Behr is one of the best Westminster insider journalists. So eloquent and knowledgeable. Also keen to see how non-British viewers make sense of his description of Boris Johnson as a "Marmitey" figure!

[theother]

How will Mrs May be remembered: as filling in a Eton Mess between the disastrous leaderships of the Old Etonians Cameron and Johnson.

[ronlegend]

These political analysts live in a different world and have not one clue what the rest of us think. Stop interviewing them and talk to real people. Corbyn is our best hope of a decent future

[peregrineslim]

I trust that post-Brexit Britain will prohibit every British company from having a multinational structure and presence so that its beloved sovereignty is not infringed.

Stranded on a desert island with Johnson and Corbyn, who would you trust to share the food equally?

[ancietman]

Its simple if Boris can get us out in Oct which I doubt the Tories might recover some of their support. If we do not leave there will be an election with all the parties other than Brexit Party ( UKIP are dead ) fighting over the remainer voters leaving the field clear for Farage to pick up the 5M Labour leavers, the many leaver Tories that want to leave it will mean many Brexit Party MPs. They will push through brexit.

BoJo will get nowhere with the EU. He'll be given short shrift. Stop Brexit NOW! You know it makes sense.

[alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

BoJo vs Steptoe. Thing is - I don’t trust Boris to deliver Brexit properly.

[redpeony]

Can these pundits really not think two moves ahead! No dealers are batting for the other side. No deal is about getting us in exactly the best position to take it in the rear from the American negotiations. Brexit was financed by an American Oligarch; it is about American interests. We may never recover from this degree of submission to the US.

The video proves how badly broken the system is at this point it’s all a facade

[kgs]

Apropos nothing, I am very sweet on Isabel Hardman ... really lovely in all ways.

[jakem]

Im first going to say that I am not British and am watching this 'show' from abroad. I might just say that everyone (a lot of brits) talk about how broken the system is. I think to a certain extent, the system's changed off the usual paradigms but to say it is 'broken' is too far. If I was British I would be appreciative of the parlimentry system. Most notably the ability to retain alternative views. Yes, Brexit has not occurred at either desired outcome. However, I believe that the ability for the parliamentary system to withstand event such as this proves that it is the greatest in the world. Thanks for reading.

[peregrineslim]

Boris will cut a deal with the EU, but it will look precisely like the one May got. The trick has always been to get the deal through the Conservative Party and then Parliament.

[ScotsmaninUtah]

Total Gibberish and the fact its Channel 4 should alarm everyone,
These two people have no idea what is going to happen next !

[spitfiredred]

We have a problem we leave or stay in the you honestly tell me we have anyone in the house to manage or get the best for Britain out of the EU. No matter which way it happens these traitors will never ever truly let go....back room deals, sneaking around behind our backs we will be worse off.
These jokers can't do it be honest we are well screwed now thanks to our Politicians .

[RDHamel]

14:20 - "he would express it better"...KIPPERS!!!!

[gushtosticketv]

Forget about Corbyn quitting. A Corbyn government will get rid of a zero-hours contract. That is why I will vote for him. What can the Tories do for me?

[nickbreen]

From a tactical standpoint saying you will take no deal improves the chances of getting a deal. You can't let the EU know that you are desperate for a deal like May did, why can't people get that?

[alangreen]

Now that the public have now realized the implications of brexit I have a feeling a new referendum would render a stay!?

[SpikeyMikey]

Wouldn't vote for either of these, alas that it's come to this ...
