Shadow Foreign Secretary, UK - Emily Thornberry MP

What would the UK opposition party do about Brexit? HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry.

In 17 months time, Britain - barring a sensational political U-turn - will be out of the European Union. But on what terms remains to be seen.

HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry - what would the opposition do about Brexit?
