29/03/2017 100 Days

Hello and welcome to a special edition of 100 Days -

I'm Christian Fraser live from Westminster on this the day,

the British government begins the process of leaving

An official hand delivered letter to the EU formally triggers a two

This is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back.

Britain is leading the European Union. So here it is.

says his priority is to defend the remaining member states.

Brexit has made as a community of 27 more determined and more united than

before. We'll hear from Brussels,

Spain and across the UK. And I'm Michelle Fleury

in Washington - our other headlines. What are the opportunities

and dangers for markets across the world of two years

of talks, then Brexit? Have seen under the Common fisheries

policy is the hardships and a client of the communities that I live work

in. And dear Europe, people

from across Britain say It has taken nine months but today

Britain took the decisive step towards leaving the European Union,

and a relationship that has bound this country to the continent

for over 40 years. The British Prime Minister's letter

- just six pages long - was transferred to the President

of the European Council by the UK's That very simple process

triggers Article 50 - beginning two years of devilishly

difficult negotiation. The deal that is agreed - or maybe

there will be no deal agreed - but either way the outcome holds

consequences not only for the four nations of this United Kingdom -

but also for the future We will look at all of that tonight,

but first let's hear from our political editor

Laura Kuenssberg The minute in Westminster, Belfast,

Edinburgh and Cardiff that the United Kingdom

formally changed course. The Article 50 process is now

underway and in accordance with the wishes of the British

people, the United Kingdom This is an historic moment

from which there can Probably our last ambassador

to the European Union handing over The document that says

we are on our way out. Theresa May's signature

on our departure. A country that goes out

into the world to build relationships with old friends

and new allies alike. And that is why I have set out

a clear and ambitious plan It is a plan for a new,

deep and special partnership between Her decisions about how mean

we are out of the single market As European leaders have said many

times, we cannot cherry pick and remain members of the single

market without accepting the four A friendlier tone to the continent,

an ambition to bring Mr Speaker, when I sit around

the negotiating table in the months ahead I will represent every person

in the United Kingdom, young and old, rich and poor, town

and country and all the villages And yes, those EU nationals that

have made this country their home. And it is my fierce

determination to get the right In perhaps the most important letter

that she'll ever pen, the Prime Minister spoke of her hope

to give reassurance quickly to the millions of EU citizens

who live here and Brits abroad. We should always put our citizens

first, we should aim to strike an early agreement

about their rights. The Prime Minister wants a free

trade deal with the EU of greater A bold hope seen as naive by some

to try to protect firms who do business around the continent

from rules and barriers. No overt threat to walk away

but a serious warning. A failure to reach agreement

would mean our co-operation in the fight against crime

and terrorism would be weakened. We must work hard to

avoid that outcome. She wants also to agree the terms

of our future partnership alongside those of our withdrawal from the EU,

to work out how we leave at the same Labour aren't the only ones

sceptical she can deliver. If the Prime Minister

can deliver a deal that meets our tests that will be fine,

we will back her. More than ever Britain needs

a government that will deliver for the whole country,

not just the few. And that is the ultimate

test of the Brexit deal that the Prime Minister

must now secure. Memories of today

will be so different. Even though that's not actually

the Foreign Secretary. That's the sense in

the home of the EU. There's no reason to pretend

that this is a happy day, Some powers coming back

from Brussels will bypass this place and flow to Holyrood,

Cardiff and Stormont. For Remainers here and in

the Scottish Government those The Prime Minister still can't

answer basic questions about what Brexit will mean

for businesses, the economy generally and for the type

of society we live in. This six simple pages will do much

to determine our place The letter is less abrasive in tone

to the rest of the EU than when Mrs May started

as Prime Minister. But she still had to persuade

her party she really Now the clamour of the referenda

misconduct, the tone Remember we bring a lot to the table

when it comes to policing, It wasn't firing a shot

but she was just making a reminder, It is exciting but I don't

underestimate the scale of the task that lies ahead

in the next two years. What has happened today

is the biggest stimulation of British power and sovereignty

in my lifetime. A letter which is really

about kicking off a trade negotiation had six mentions

of trade and 11 It struck me as a reckless

series of threats. Not that he ever needs a reason

to be pictured with a pint, Today, for me, after 25

years of campaigning, the impossible dream came true,

I'm very pleased. What matters now is that we have

a successful negotiation and try to maintain a close

relationship between Britain In a rare interview inside number

ten the Prime Minister promised, despite all the challenges,

our relationship with the rest of What we are both looking for is that

comprehensive free trade agreement which gives that ability to trade

freely into the European single market and for

them to trade with us. It will be a different relationship

but I think it will have the same benefits in terms of that free

access to trade. An assertion that will

take a lot to prove. One her counterparts in Europe

struggle to believe. Number ten's time for preparation

is up, now time to try to persuade. With me now is our Chief

Political Correspondent, Vicki Young and in Brussels,

my colleague Ben Brown. That piece talked about the town and

it is different, warm and conciliatory. She is setting up the

environment for the negotiations. When you go into negotiations you

must have the bottom line is, but the UK Government is trying to say

we are not just any third country trying to do a deal, we have been

part of your life for the past 40 years. We have been interwoven, the

economy is, politically, and we can continue that close relationship.

She spoke about a deep and special partnership. Four or five times in

the letter that is what she talks about so clearly she's going in

trying to be positive. I think the interesting thing is we heard a lot

about no deal is better than a bad deal but today she made it clear

that is not what she wants. It may be what some of MPs think would be

perfectly OK, not what she's going for. She said the EU could cope with

no deal but should not be what they're aiming for. So very much

going in trying to get a good deal. Well the tone was important in this

letter and also interesting in Brussels as well. Yes and the town

of the response I think has overwhelmingly been one of sadness.

Donald Tusk after receiving the letter at lunchtime said, we miss

you already, he could not pretend to be happy and so on. So obviously

everyone knew that this day was coming but now it has arrived, a

mood of some sadness and disappointment. A little irritation

I have to say at what has been perceived in Brussels as an attempt

by Theresa May in that letter to link security and trade and possibly

or the reading here is maybe to use security as a bargaining chip. And

Guy Verhofstadt, the chief Brexit negotiator for the European

Parliament, said they would not accept any attempt by the British to

link security cooperation and trade. And that is an important point,

security has been used for leveraged in this letter, Amber Rudd said if

we took money back from Europol we would also take information. That

has raised some eyebrows. It caused quite a stir, Theresa May in the

letter talking about going to WTO rules but also saying in security

terms of failure to reach agreement would mean the fight against crime

and terrorism would be weakened in terms of cooperation. Downing Street

said it is not a threat, just the reality. The reality with things

like Europol if we have a lot of information in there and they cannot

just expect that to continue if there is no deal. The stakes are

very high but of course it is going to be a compromise and the danger

with that is no one is happy at the end of it. Thank you both.

Nine months is a long time for people to reflect on the vote

Well - this is by no means conclusive -

but it is a YouGov poll that has been tracking opinions each month,

and you can see that broadly speaking Britain is still as divided

as it was at last June's referendum when the UK voted to leave

Factor in the don't knows and opinion doesn't appear

So after 44 years together it is time to write

those goodbye letters - here's what some people will miss

about EU membership, and what some people will not.

Well, it's time for us to go our separate ways and personally,

I'm not sure we deserved all the insults.

Everything that the technocrats in Brussels seemed to touch falls

You've always been central to my life.

Summering on the beach in Portugal or making baklava

Vous allez perdre un mauvais locataire.

What the people voted for in June last year was to take back control.

It is important that we do not forget or lose sight

Many of us still appreciate your best qualities.

All that I have seen under three common fisheries policy

is is the decline and the hardships of the communities

And we have enjoyed access to a skilled labour force from Europe.

I'm looking forward to a relationship based

We are who we are because of Europe, not despite of it.

Not perfect, but if we work together, we can emerge stronger.

We are leaving the European Union, but we're not going to go away.

No man is an island, entire of itself.

Maybe one day the next generation will decide against divorce.

Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

If a clot be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less.

Europe will lose a bad tenant, but gain a good neighbour.

As farmers we will roll up our sleeves and will adapt.

I do not want you to see this as a terminal divorce.

Well, that video ended with Douglas Carswell -

formerly of the UK Independence Party he's now an Independent MP

and campaigned to leave the EU - also with me is Catherine West -

Your constituency was the top remain constituency in the country so

naturally you voted against the Brexit Bill despite of the whip in

your party. But you have not done much to stop the Brexit Bill and

many are unhappy about that. Unfortunately it is quite a sad day

for me and my constituency. There are questions which today raises and

we did not have many answers from the Prime Minister, just a lot of

uncertainty and concern over jobs and inflation and the fall in

sterling. Worries about public services if there is not enough tax

income for example if we go into a tax haven like state. Many questions

about security arrangements to keep us safe. Lots of questions around

the future for our children. Some are young people said to me that

they were upset that they did not get to vote, and secondly they feel

a door has been closed by the older generation on their future. It just

raises all those questions and I'm worried about the future. Douglas,

you devoted your entire career to this moment so I would imagine the

mood is different. In the letter the Prime Minister I sense a bit of give

and take, are you in the mood for copper mines? We need to be

pragmatic, and people like Catherine and her constituents need

reassurance. I have campaigned to get us out of the EU but I believe

in a liberal Brexit. For us to be a successful country we need to be

politically independent but also need to be economically

interdependent. We need to find a relationship with Europe that allows

a liberal, global Britain to engage with our neighbours and I hope

Catherine and many others will be reassured that this is not the Nigel

Farage vision of Brexit. Would you both agree on one pointedly is that

for the last nine months we have been divided, and now surely as

politicians in that big house over there, you are batting for UK plc,

and are on the same side. Of course I did today I was speaking to people

about China and the economy but we have to remember the EU is still our

biggest market. We cannot pretend that fact is not correct. We must

base our approach on evidence. I think we've got our tests in labour

and we have outlined that strongly about the economy and jobs. Around

the drop in sterling and what that will do to confidence in the

economy. And I'm concerned about public services because if the

economy goes down, it will not be Nigel Farage with infected but

people in J Wick who will feel the pain. So I'm worried about people on

low and middle incomes, what will happen to them if the economy goes

into decline. By leaving the failing customs union and becoming global,

we can about -- we can open up to where the growth is. It is not just

about leaving the EU, for a generation a small clique of people

have made public policy in this country with no reference to the

public. Once we left we can make sure the people who make public

policy are properly accountable to the public. We can change all manner

of public policy and the possibility is exciting. I would like to see

higher environmental standards. As long as we're the EU we have minimal

environmental standards which become the maximum. What we can do as a

country opens up. The Prime Minister has given an interview to Andrew

Neil tonight and she says it is possible to get a new free trade

agreement just as good as being in the single market. US experts have

told me they think a trade deal with the UK will take at least ten years

to negotiate. That is a long time. But do you believe it will be just

as good on the other side? I think we have a lot to lose. There are no

restrictions on the moment on cross channel trade and I know of no one

who wants to impose those so I think we will have good market access. I

think we need to look at how we cooperate in areas of security and

defence, the fight against terrorism and make sure we do not trust the

kind of people who have been running the Europe with security and

intelligence. We have got to cooperate in new ways. We are out of

time, thank you very much. While the focus today has been on London. I've

been watching the markets, and they did not move much in Washington. A

pretty muted response. The currency in fact was up, what are they make

of it over in the United States. Well if you look at the pound it was

under pressure but the market seemed to take it in their stride broadly

speaking. This is something we have been waiting for today for a long

time. But the bank stocks were under pressure because of course they are

big employers in the UK and there are questions we are waiting to find

out answers for. I got the chance a short time ago to speak to someone

about the financial implications of Brexit, Mr Goolsbee,

who formerly served the chairman of President Obama's Council

of Economic Advisors. Austin Goolsbee, thank you very much

for joining us on the show. I'm keen to get

a perspective sense from What do you think people

here and particularly the markets You know, we are dealing

with our own version of kind of the forces

of Brexit in the US. I would say the US perspective

on Brexit is coloured by Donald Trump and we have the experience in

the US that Donald Trump is elected, actually the market

responds in a positive going to get a lot of policy done

perhaps or we are going to And now it has slowly

been kind of falling And it feels a little bit

that way perhaps for Brexit, that the initial naysayers,

their fears were perhaps overstated. But now as you get

into the long slog, $60 billion bill associated with

Brexit, and if you're not going to be able to negotiate a trade

arrangement with the EU in a relevant time frame,

then kind of a slow bleed I remember going back to the time

of the vote, you said it It seems like you

still feel like that. Immigration of course an issue that

helped to propel him to victory. Here, immigration a key

issue in the Brexit vote. How important do you think

that is going to be going forward in You know, we've got to ask

the Europeans that. But it feels like it

is very important. It could be drowned out

depending on what happens in elections in some

of the other EU countries that remain,

particularly in France. But I think that the basic

proposition of the Brexiteers was, nothing will go

wrong in the economy and the only change is that we will be able

to stop as much immigration And it just feels to me

like that is definitely not going to Obviously a lot on the table

in terms of trying to get a But what about the prospect

of a trade deal with the I think you've seen Donald Trump

express, I do not know if you would call it willingness,

but say, you know, we are pals and we're going to move

you to the front of Echoing the kind of maybe poorly

chosen words of Barack But I think realistically the chance

that in the next two years the UK would be able

to negotiate a trade agreement and sign it and get

it through the US, that seems

very unlikely to me. some interesting thoughts. Much

importance being put a future American trade deal of course.

Well, one of the first things the politicians have pledged

to solve in the weeks ahead is the future of three million EU

citizens living here in Britain and around one million British

Let's go to Spain - our correspondent Gavin Lee

who is on the Costa Blanca - and big number of British people

there Gavin who would like a bit more certainty?

It is pretty idyllic here on the sun but all along the coastlines there

are so many British people here, 300,000 in Spain, more than anywhere

else in Europe. One third of the total number of Brits. What is

interesting, a year ago before the referendum a lot of people were

panicking, very cautious and saying it is a bad thing. I found very few

people openly saying they thought Brexit was a good idea. But now

actually people are more pragmatic, many on the coast saying they're

hoping and waiting for the idea of what happens to the future of Brits

in Europe as negotiate a straightaway. Quite a lot of people

openly saying we did vote for Brexit, we're happy with it and it

is a good thing, we do not like immigration, aware of sand in the

critical, but also I have met people who are starting to go back to the

UK. And they believe with health care and pensions, that might start

to seize up and they are making their own way back again. Thank you

for that. A lot of the focus has been on this

building behind me today - the House of Commons -

but we did pause for a short while this afternoon to remember

those who lost their lives in the terror attack last week,

and the many who were injured. Police officers, faith leaders

and members of the public gathered on Westminster Bridge to observe

a minute's silence - at 1440 - Similar events were held

around the country. Prince William visited a police

memorial in Staffordshire where he laid a wreath for PC

Keith Palmer, the officer stabbed by the attacker at the gates

of the parliamentary estate. You're watching 100

Days from BBC News. Still to come for viewers on the BBC

News Channel and BBC World News - Prime Minster Theresa May tells

the BBC she remains determined to get a free

trade deal for Britain. If what the European

Commission is saying, that's unlikely to happen -

they want the divorce first, then a deal -

will they just go around in circles? That's a question we'll be asking

when 100 Days returns Hello. The wind is coming more from

the South which drags up warm air but to achieve high temperatures we

need sunshine and there was not a great deal of that today filled up

the cloud still big enough to get outbreaks of rain especially across

northern and western parts of the UK. Damian across Scotland, heavy

for a time and flirting with the south-east of England and up to the

Midlands. But a lot of cloud over night, really mild but the time of

year. A little bit colder across northern Scotland, and during the

day it will be warmer in the north-east of Scotland than it has

been for some time. Some rain is not far away from Northern Ireland,

affecting mainly used in part through the day. Continue on into

Cumbria and up into Dumfries Galloway. So the rain not far away

from western parts of Wales, running through the Midlands and across

Lincolnshire. That tends to push away and already brighter skies

developing in the south-east. As the main retreats back towards the North

West UK, mainly affecting areas along the Irish Sea, so we have more

sunshine coming in across England and Wales. We will get some sunshine

and some of that warmth in the southerly wind. It could be the

warmest day of the year so far. Even further north and west temperatures

pretty good for the time of year. More rain on Friday, moving into

Scotland. That weather front is pretty weak. Behind that we have

slightly fresher air but more in the way sunshine so it should feel quite

pleasant again on Friday afternoon. The weekend Saturday will see little

sunshine but also some showers that could be almost anywhere. And though

showers will be slow-moving. Any sunshine and it feels quite pleasant

again. A cold night to come on Saturday night because the showers

get pushed away by this developing Ridge of high pressure that is

building in from the foul. Keeping the weather front at bay for the

time being. But the second half of the weekend is going to be much

drier and brighter, again the wind light for most. Some sunshine making

it feel pleasant and highs of 16 or 17 Celsius.

Welcome back to this special edition of 100 Days,

The British Government begins the process of leaving

the European Union - an official hand-delivered letter

to the EU formally triggers a two-year countdown to Brexit.

And coming up, reaction from the Prime Minister in a rare interview

from inside Number Ten Downing Street. We also live in Brussels for

more on the view from Europe. -- we are also live.

The British Prime Minister took nine months to trigger Article 50.

If that was a challenge, it pales in comparison to what lies ahead.

Theresa May is fighting on so many levels, in Europe,

with the opposition in the Commons behind me, she is fighting to keep

the union together with Scotland demanding a referendum,

she is fighting to keep her own party on side.

And if she manages all that, how on earth will Theresa May

satisfy the electorate, when they wanted such different

Mrs May has been speaking to my colleague Andrew Neil

What we will be working for and what I believe we can get is a

comprehensive free trade agreement. We are looking, we would like to see

as frictionless and free trade is possible, tariff free across

borders, so we can continue that trade with the European union. Can

it be as good? It will be a different relationship, that is the

point, because it went be a relationship based on membership of

the single market and are accepting all the other things that voters

rejected. What it will be will be that we want that new partnership

with the EU, we still want to work with you and cooperate with you and

actually, getting a trade agreement isn't just about the UK, it is not

just about our business, it is about businesses in other countries being

able to trade with us. So I think it's in the interests of both sides

to agree a really good deal. I understand that but your Brexit

Minister David Davis, he said there will be a free-trade deal which

will, "Deliver the exact same benefits we enjoy now." You and I

know that cannot be true, the European Union will never agree to

the exact same benefits. What we are both looking for is that

comprehensive free-trade agreement which gives that ability to trade

freely into the European single market. But it can't be the same

benefits. And for them to trade laws. It will be a different

relationship but it can have the same benefits in terms of that free

access to trade. When we leave the EU, we end our membership of

something like 40 pan-European agencies and other things, security,

hair care. One is significant, given the events in Westminster last week,

will membership of Europol, the Uruguay police service, will that

continue post-Brexit? That is one of the things we will have do

negotiate. -- the Europe-wide police service. You want to? A number of

crime and justice matters are important, it is not just Europol,

it is other things, systems about information on people crossing

borders, for example, which are valuable to us and to the other

countries. But would you like to remember -- remain a member of

Europol? I would like to retain a degree of cooperation on these

matters that we have currently. Now that Brexit has been triggered,

the focus shifts to the substance of the negotiations

between Britain and Brussels. The UK wants to talk about it's

so-called divorce bill from the EU and a trade deal at one and the same

time, while the EU wants Our Europe Editor Katya Adler sat

down with Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President of the European

Commission, and asked him how any progress will be made if both sides

aren't prepared to bargain. Well, that is all part of how we

negotiate. How do you square that circle? Everybody starts with his

own interest and tries to former lead his own to interest in the best

possible way -- his own interests. So how do you have that, that trade

with the parallel of divorce? The determination of the EU will be

based on a careful analysis of Theresa May's letter. There can be

no future settlement if we are not very clear on how the divorce

settlement is going to be. Well, Donald Tusk,

the European Council president who took receipt

of the Prime Minister's letter today, must now weigh the interests

of the 27 remaining countries that form the council and come up

with an opening position. He has promised his first

response by Friday. So, here it is. Six pages. The

notification from Prime Minister Theresa May, triggering Article 50.

And formally starting the negotiations of the United Kingdom's

withdrawal from the European Union. There is no reason to pretend that

this is a happy day. Neither in Brussels law in London. After all,

most Europeans, including almost halve the British voters, wish that

we would stay together, not drift apart. We already miss you. Thank

you and goodbye. That was the view of

the European Council. Later, the European Parliament

gave its reaction and made clear what its priority was in negotiating

a Brexit deal. The European Parliament must defend

citizens' rides. This is why we need an agreement based on continuity,

reciprocity and non-discrimination. Not reaching a deal on the right of

citizens means not reaching a deal at all. Plenty of reaction there and

it is worth remembering of course that the European Parliament does

have a veto. Lead guitar you quickly about the calendar events going

forward. We will get some sort of response on Friday from the European

Council president Donald Tusk. It will then probably take him a few

weeks to come up with an opening position which is agreed by the 27

countries. In fact, there is a coming together of the European

Council at the end of April. Negotiations. Probably in May or

June but don't forget, there is the French election and in September,

the German elections, so maybe these negotiations won't start in earnest

until after the German Chancellor or indeed Martin Schulz wins the

election. Going forward from that, they hope to get something agreed by

the autumn or at least October 2018, so that that would give this

Parliament and also the European Parliament five months to ratify it.

Let's get more on the view from Europe, let's speak to Sorin Moisa -

a Member of the European Parliament and of the Trade Committee.

A very good evening to you. It is worth pointing out to everyone who

is watching us around the world that it is not just about the future of

the UK. This deal that is agreed and negotiate it is important to the

future of the European Union as well. -- negotiated. It is vital for

the future of the European Union for a number of reasons. Of course, the

vote of the British people to leave was of course a vote of no

confidence in the EU itself and the EU needs to recover from this vote

of no-confidence. One of the things that is vital for us to do is not to

send a signal of weakness to our member states and to our population

that in the context of the Brexit negotiations, we have not delivered,

in the sense that we would create a market for leavers if Britain leaves

the union with a deal and a status that is more advantageous as a

nonmember than it would be as a member. Then we create a market for

leavers and populists and this would be a vital peril for the EU itself,

so it is vital in this context for us to have a deal that does not

punish the UK but does not reward it either. We do need to put in place,

during the ago Shenzhen, the right mechanisms so we can find the right

price for Britain to leave the EU -- during the negotiations. But you can

only negotiate realistically the divorce terms over the next two

years. What goes on from that point forward is very much up to the UK

Parliament and it may be, and most people here will hope, that the UK

will make a success of it, so it is inevitable that people will look to

the example of Brexit. I am sorry, I am afraid I have not understood the

question fully, I could not hear you very well. What I am saying is you

can put things in place which may be obstructive and may even punish the

UK but you can only negotiate the terms of the divorce. From that

point onwards, if the UK makes success of it, it may well encourage

others in Europe to take a pattern. Of course, if the UK becomes a

brilliant success story by virtue of leaving in itself, yes, it might

well encourage others to leave but what we are trying to do here and it

is really in good faith and with a very open mind and treating the UK

as good neighbours, not the enemy or anything hostile, is to find the

right balanced deal for the UK departure. There is no price of

leaving per se, what we seek to achieve in terms of the leaving

invoice is for the UK to respect its existing commitments. The lesser

status will come from the access to the single market that we have do

negotiate as a separate package once the exit deal itself will have been

negotiated. I am very grateful for your time, thank you for coming on

the programme and an example of how difficult it is going to be. It is

not just about getting the ratification in this Parliament, at

the European Parliament, they have the European Parliament, they have

to get the agreement of 27 other countries.

Tough talks ahead. Let's get some other news

from around the world. Officials here in Washington says

a female driver was "erratic and aggressive" as she struck

a police car and tried to run down Shots were fired as they

took her into custody. A police spokesperson says the event

was not terror-related, The frontrunner in the French

presidential election, Emmanuel Macron, has received

support from the former Manuel Valls left office

in December, and had previously vowed to back the Socialist

contender Benoit Hamon, who beat him Mr Macron is a former economy

minister, and currently leads rival And Bob Dylan will finally accept

his Nobel Prize for Literature The singer, who is 75,

caused controversy last year when he took days to publicly

acknowledge the prize and decided Dylan will be in Stockholm

to perform a concert. Well, it seems to me that the song

we want to hear at the moment is Blowing In The Wind, I don't know if

you have a favourite? Like A Rolling Stone, in the context of today. But

rolling where? Michelle, plenty of people

who campaigned for Brexit For others, their world has

been turned upside down. And if you were looking for

a metaphor for that, how about this? This is the Monster Jam World

Finals in Las Vegas. It's the first time a monster truck

driver has completed a front flip I don't know which is more

surprising, the fact that it did a front flip or the fact that there is

a "Monster jam final". Look out many people are there.

The man in the driving seat is Lee O'Donnell,

That is probably because he has just about got his angle spot on. How

many practices do you think he had to do to get that right and what

happened when it didn't go right? Extraordinary, well done to the mad

scientist. Well, that is 100 Days on this the

day Britain formally told Europe it wants to leave the EU. I'll be back

through the evening, bringing
