BBC News - HARDtalk, Lord Ricketts

Stephen Sackur talks to Lord Ricketts, former UK National Security Adviser.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Lord Ricketts, former top diplomat and UK National Security Adviser.

With just days to go until the British parliament votes again on Theresa May's Brexit deal, the political debate in the UK grows ever more polarised. But the legacy of Brexit won't just be deep fractures within the political parties; this protracted national argument has also raised questions about how the machinery of government works, and the role of the supposedly apolitical civil service. HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Lord Ricketts, former top diplomat and UK National Security Adviser. Have Britain's mandarins been exposed as an unelected, unaccountable brake on Brexit?
