This week’s Brexit news has been completely overwhelmed by a news story that we haven’t covered yet – Big Ben’s bongs. Earlier in the week, Johnson said that the government were planning a scheme where individuals could donate money towards the £500,000 cost of making Big Ben chime at the time of Brexit. In this video we discuss that cost, whether it will ever happen and what this conversation says about the future of the UK.
