James O'Brien breaks down Brexit woes with LBC callers

Small wholesalers could be paying an extra £60,000 a year for new Brexit inspections, hiking up prices for the supermarket shop, LBC has been told.
James O'Brien reflects on this and hears from callers' experiences who've been affected by their vote for or against Brexit.
00:00:15 - James O'Brien's monologue
00:13:03 - Caller Rebecca, who voted remain, tells how she initially couldn't understand why her mother - who was born to Polish immigrants - voted leave.
00:17:12 - Caller John believes the consequences of Brexit go further than just the rising cost of food for Brits.
00:21:24 - Caller Harry is 21 years old, and he reflects on the UK's decline since Brexit, dwelling on the fact he was too young to vote at the time.
00:27:00 - Caller Tim shares his Brexit experience, struggling with freedom of movement between him and his family in Europe.
