For a nation that had a global reputation for pragmatism and common sense, we have basically lost it, big style.

No need to worry - according to a Brexit Party candidate (now MEP), it will only be "short-term".

I'm really hung up on something that you said earlier. You said 'Brexit at any cost'
Please tell the people who are struggling in this country, that you want Brexit at any cost.
Campbell then asked Harris to try and elaborate on her comment and it wouldn't exactly fill your heart with hope and prosperity, even if you were the most staunch of Brexiteers.
Well...I don't...I mean...are you looking for a number...or?
I think short term there will be an effect on the economy. Short-term yes.

How long is short term?
Harris?
How long is short term? I don't know. The next 30 years?
