Restoring respect to Brexit debate

Can respect be restored to British politics? Polls open in Austria in snap election

Can a tone of respect be restored to British politics to counter the bitter feelings aroused by Brexit? We'll hear the thoughts of one the most senior MPs in the UK Parliament.

Also in the programme: Polls have opened in Austria for a snap election amidst the aftermath of a lingering political scandal.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Diane Wei Liang, Chinese-born writer now based in the UK, and Kamal Alam, a defence analyst specialising in the Middle East and Afghanistan and a former adviser to the British military on Syria.
