Yet politicians refuse to reopen this radioactive topic. If so many people hate Brexit, why don’t we just reverse it? Could we even reverse it? And is now the right time?  Few people understand the reality of Rejoin more than Anand Menon , Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College London and director of UK in a Changing Europe. He talks to Emma Kennedy about the daunting reality behind the dream of reapplying for EU membership.  • Special offer!
