He talks about the role of Wilton Park re-education centre and the role it has played in international relations and in building bridges between countries and cultures.

He discusses issues surrounding the Commonwealth, the EU and Britain's role in the world.

He lists many of the negative effects that have ensued as a consequence of Brexit.

In conclusion he states: "Global Britain was in part based on a fallacy that it regained sovereignty which in fact we've never lost... The world will not suddenly embrace us because we've left the EU."
