Download Brexit: Could we rejoin the EU even if we wanted to?

It’s almost 4 years since the UK left the European Union. Recent polls show a majority of people want to re-join the EU. But is this a realistic option?

So in this week’s programme David Aaronovitch asks could we re-join the EU if we wanted? If we did, would it be of any benefit to the UK? And under what terms would the EU have us back?

David is joined by the following experts:
Peter Foster, Public Policy Editor at Financial Times
Mujtaba Rahman, Managing Director for Europe at Eurasia Group who advise investors on political risk
Jill Rutter a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Government who directed the organisation's work on Brexit
Anand Menon, Director of the UK in a Changing Europe

Production team: Sophie Eastaugh, Kirsteen Knight and Alex Lewis
Production Co-ordinators: Katie Morrison
Sound: Rod Farquhar
Editor: Richard Vadon
