Episode Notes:

On the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum, Nicole invited John Bew on the show for a retrospective of the factors that influenced the decision and the implications it's had on both the United Kingdom and Europe. The conversation centers on security and defense — an often-underexamined dimension of the split — before turning to the current state of the United Kingdom's relationship with continental Europe and what the years ahead may hold.
