BBC World Service - Business Daily, Brexit: still worth it?

A free trade deal between the EU and UK remains elusive

A free trade deal between the EU and UK remains elusive.

It’s going to be more expensive for British firms to trade with the European Union after the end of this year. That’s when the real Brexit takes place. We ask Alastair Macmillian, a Brexit-supporting business owner, whether he thinks leaving the EU is still worth it.

Alex Veitch, head of international policy at the UK Freight Transport Association, explains what the extra red tape means for the industry. And we hear from Peter Foster, public policy editor at the Financial Times.
