Extra $2.5bn for no-deal Brexit planning
With just 91 days til the UK is due to leave the EU, we ask how prepared businesses are.
With just 91 days til the UK is due to leave the EU, we ask how prepared businesses are. Alistair MacMillan set up White House Products which sells hydraulic pumps to 120 countries, voted for Brexit, and is fairly relaxed about the prospects for trade. Helen Roberts of the National Sheep Association in Wales discusses the impact tariffs on lamb could have on exporters. And we examine the costs and benefits of Brexit with Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and Jonathan Portes, who runs UK in a Changing Europe. Also in the programme, Donald Trump's former economic adviser Gary Cohn tells us President Trump's trade war with China is hurting America. Plus, as the 50th anniversary edition of the Woodstock Music Festival scheduled for later this month is cancelled by promoters, we ask Paul Reed of the Association of Independent Festivals in the UK whether the festival business model is broken.
